Most of us grew up believing that brushing, flossing, and using mouthwash were enough to keep our mouths healthy. While these habits are important, they only work on the surface—removing food particles and masking bad breath for a short time. But your mouth is home to billions of microorganisms. Some are beneficial, while others can be harmful. When this balance is disrupted, problems like gum irritation, bad breath, and even wider health issues can follow. That’s where the science of oral probiotics comes in—and where Oraticx® is leading the way.

From Idea to Innovation

Back in the late 1990s, our research team asked a bold question: what if probiotics could be designed not just for gut health, but for oral health too? After years of dedicated study, we identified and developed probiotic strains that don’t just survive in the digestive system—they thrive in the unique environment of the mouth, from the tongue to the gums to the surface of the teeth. This breakthrough opened the door to a new era in oral care. Our commitment has always been grounded in science. Clinical studies and laboratory tests confirm that Oraticx® probiotics can live, grow, and restore balance in the oral microbiome.

How Oral Probiotics Work

So, what makes oral probiotics different from your regular toothpaste or mouthwash? Balance the microbiome: Harmful bacteria are strongly linked with gum problems. Oraticx® helps restore a healthier bacterial balance, strengthening gums and boosting natural defenses. Protect against bad breath: Instead of masking odors, our strains target volatile sulfur compounds (the root cause of bad breath), creating long-lasting freshness. Natural adherence: Oraticx® probiotics attach to the tongue and gums, forming a protective barrier that makes it harder for harmful bacteria to dominate. The result? Fresher breath, stronger gums, and a healthier connection between oral and overall wellness.

Unique Probiotic Strains

Our innovation journey began in 1997, when we set out to discover beneficial bacteria that could truly improve oral health. Through extensive research, we developed two unique strains:

Weissella cibaria CMU (OraCMU™)
Weissella cibaria CMS1 (OraCMS1™)

These strains were originally isolated from the saliva of children with little dental plaque and no oral disease. They have since been studied extensively in the lab, in animals, and in human trials.

Scientific highlights of W. cibaria CMU:
Inhibits dental caries, halitosis, and periodontal disease.
Reduces gum inflammation by suppressing harmful bacteria.
Lowers pH, generates protective radicals, and secretes proteins that block bacterial growth.
Shown to reduce gum bleeding and slow harmful bacterial propagation in clinical studies.

These findings are supported by multiple international patents, including recognition in the U.S. and Korea, solidifying Oraticx® as a true leader in oral probiotic science.

A Simple Addition to Your Routine

Adding Oraticx® to your daily oral care is easy:

Brush and floss as usual.

Take Oraticx® probiotics as directed.

For best results, use it at night—letting the probiotics work while you sleep.
