DENTAL PROBIOTICS AND THE BLIS M18 ™ STRAIN
A great smile goes a long way but maintaining a healthy smile over a lifetime is a lot of work. Regular brushing, flossing, and eating healthy food is a great start but does not always lead to healthy teeth and gums.
Introducing BLIS M18™ - a patented dental probiotic to support teeth and gum health.

Blis Technologies has been researching the Oral Microbiome for over 20 years and discovered BLIS M18™ - a specific strain of bacteria called Streptococcus salivarius M18 that helps to support dental health.
ToothGuard and ToothGuard Junior lozenges with BLIS M18™ have been scientifically developed to support the health of teeth and gums when used in conjunction with regular brushing. Taken daily these lozenges help maintain a healthy population of good bacteria in the mouth, crowding out the bad bacteria that may cause tooth decay and gum disease.*
HOW DOES BLIS M18™ SUPPORT DENTAL HEALTH?
• BLIS M18™ is commensal to the oral cavity so it has strong colonisation ability
• Produces natural antimicrobial peptides that actively target and inhibit dental pathogens.
• Fights bacteria that can cause gum issues.
• Produces enzymes to fight against plaque build-up and reduce acidity.
• Reduces bad bacteria linked to dental caries.
WHAT STUDIES SHOW FOR BLIS M18™
• Prolongs the impact of teeth cleaning
• BLIS M18® inhibits the build-up of plaque
• BLIS M18® usage reduces risk of developing caries

Clinically Researched Proven Efficacy
A professional clean is temporarily effective at improving sulcular bleeding (Day 15). Continued BLIS M18™ use lowers scores further and then a slower reversal back to normal once treatment stops. (Graph 1)
Slows Down Plaque
A professional clean is effective at removing plaque (day 15) but BLIS M18® then slows the plaque build-up. (Graph 2)
