Oragenics probiotic

TAMPA, Florida-- Florida-based biopharmaceutical company Oragenics has developed EvoraPlus.

The product is an all-natural probiotic teeth whitening mint specifically designed for complete oral care. With Oragenics’ patented probiotic blend, ProBiora3, EvoraPlus represents probiotics that can be applied for whitening teeth and eliminating bad breath while promoting gum and tooth health. Probiotics have traditionally been used to support digestive and immune health.

EvoraPlus naturally whitens teeth (up to three to four shades within the first month). At the same time, as a result of its proprietary harmful bacteria-fighting science, EvoraPlus helps suppors optimal gum and tooth health while freshening breath.

Previously taken twice daily, EvoraPlus is now more powerful and can be taken just once a day. The new formula was developed to make EvoraPlus simpler and easier to use. Packaged in an ecofriendly box, it is now more affordable to the consumer.

Developed by Oragenics Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Jeffrey Hillman, DMD, PhD, EvoraPlus is based on more than 25 years of research into the creation of Oragenics' patented probiotic blend, ProBiora3, which began at the Harvard-affiliated Forsyth Institute in Boston and continued at the University of Florida.

Dental disease is a quiet, yet growing, national epidemic. New studies, including recently published reports from the Mayo Clinic, confirm that periodontal disease and poor oral health are linked to heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, and other illnesses. American Dental Association studies show that three out of four of Americans are affected by periodontal disease at some point in their lives.

“People tend to take a simple approach to oral care in our culture,” said Dr. Hillman, who has authored more than 125 publications on subjects related to the etiology and prevention of cavities, periodontal diseases, and other infectious diseases and cancer.

“We think in terms of killing all of the bacteria that are present in the mouth. But it’s just not that simple; the human mouth contains many different types of bacteria, including some that are helpful to us.”

Probiotics: emerging treatment for oral disease

The patented ProBiora3 blend of beneficial bacteria used in EvoraPlus provides an impact by helping to maintain the oral flora in a healthy balance using a simple, noninvasive daily routine. When the EvoraPlus mint melts on the tongue, the freeze-dried probiotics activate and attach themselves to the teeth and gum tissue, establishing colonies of active bacteria both on the surface of the teeth and deep beneath the gum line.

“There really is no other technology currently available or on the horizon that offers the same benefits that EvoraPlus offers,” said Dr. Hillman. “Completely natural, EvoraPlus is safe and easy to use. It’s a completely natural approach that offers the added benefits of promoting fresh breath and whitening teeth. Other products, such as mouth rinses, are temporary and topical in their nature. EvoraPlus stays with you the entire day. Importantly, EvoraPluscan work with people who wear braces, dentures, caps or veneers.”
