Cavities run in my family, and I'm pretty sure it's the germs. If only I'd known how the whole mouth flora thing works when I was a school kid so I could have nipped it in the bud... A probiotic is just the thing for someone like me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pill-to-prevent-cavities#post-2494320 Mon, 14 Mar 2016 14:42:19 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2494320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If they were effective and not too expensive, definitely! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pill-to-prevent-cavities#post-2494318 Mon, 14 Mar 2016 14:41:58 +0000 LovelyPlum 2494318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yes!

If there were no other side effects and the pills weren't terribly expensive, I would absolutely do this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pill-to-prevent-cavities#post-2494270 Mon, 14 Mar 2016 13:43:58 +0000 agold 2494270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm prone to cavities, but I'll continue brushing and flossing as best as I can. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pill-to-prevent-cavities#post-2494266 Mon, 14 Mar 2016 13:40:33 +0000 Mamaof2 2494266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: oh wow - interesting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pill-to-prevent-cavities#post-2494264 Mon, 14 Mar 2016 13:36:11 +0000 cascademom 2494264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: I saw that. I'm just saying that there's some mouth related probiotics out there now. I'm curious to see if this would be similar or different from them: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/PRO-Dental-Probiotics-Probiotic-Including-salivarius/dp/B00ONB9JIG/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1457980558&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=mouth+probiotic" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/PRO-Dental-Probiotics-Probiotic-Including-salivarius/dp/B00ONB9JIG/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1457980558&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=mouth+probiotic</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pill-to-prevent-cavities#post-2494256 Mon, 14 Mar 2016 13:23:38 +0000 Mamaof2 2494256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: the article did say it was a probiotic! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pill-to-prevent-cavities#post-2494252 Mon, 14 Mar 2016 13:14:46 +0000 cascademom 2494252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm curious if it's similar to some dental probiotics out there. I considered taking one when we had recurring bouts of strep throat. I would take one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pill-to-prevent-cavities#post-2494241 Mon, 14 Mar 2016 13:02:54 +0000 MrsKoala 2494241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely I would! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pill-to-prevent-cavities#post-2494238 Mon, 14 Mar 2016 12:59:19 +0000 BSB 2494238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, I hate taking pills. I have been prescribed a special mouthwash by my dentist. I'll continue buying the mouthwash over taking a pill any day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pill-to-prevent-cavities#post-2494230 Mon, 14 Mar 2016 12:49:52 +0000 catlady 2494230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would absolute take it if it were effective. My family owns a dental practice and I still get cavities all the time. I am really prone to them. My dad will be retiring soon and I am terrified of getting fillings done by someone who is not my parent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pill-to-prevent-cavities#post-2494217 Mon, 14 Mar 2016 12:42:56 +0000 Mamaof2 2494217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I heard this on the radio this morning and just googled it.</p> <p>Would you take a pill to prevent cavities?</p> <p>I would! I have only ever had a small one that didn't require numbing - I am terrified of getting a cavity!!</p> <p><a href="http://www.upi.com/Health_News/2016/03/10/Probiotic-pill-to-prevent-cavities-may-be-future-of-dental-care/5491457640581/" rel="nofollow">http://www.upi.com/Health_News/2016/03/10/Probiotic-pill-to-prevent-cavities-may-be-future-of-dental-care/5491457640581/</a> </p>
