Abstract
The study is conducted to explore various probiotics that are helpful or impact oral health in modern dentistry. It helps to prevent certain dental conditions that can arise from harmful bacteria in the mouth, such as dental caries. Probiotics decrease the pH level of the oral cavity so that plaque bacteria cannot form dental plaque. Probiotics make excellent preservation products because they produce antioxidants. The oral cavity is a vital ecosystem, with environmental changes and permanent interactions in which commensal bacteria i.e. Lactobacillus limit the colonization of pathogenic microorganisms. Probiotics can outcompete pathogenic bacteria and increase the proportion of favorable bacteria in the oral cavity thereby contributing to the prevention of oral diseases. This study is conducted to identify various probiotic functions adopted by dentistry, to spread awareness about the use of probiotics in oral health, and to study and analyze the progress of oral health in the adoption of probiotics. Many recent studies indicate that treatment with probiotics can be a beneficial preventive complement to measures already approved, such as the use of fluorides. Dairy products can be ideal for probiotic administration in dental patients. Oral probiotics prevent plaque, fight bad breath, prevent oral cancer, and decrease inflammation from gum diseases.
