Teeth & Gums Kids probiotics with BLIS M18® is a scientifically developed oral probiotic made specifically for children. It helps protect teeth and gums from bad bacteria by crowding them out - leaving them nowhere to hide in your little one’s mouth. 

The mouth is a constant battleground – on a daily basis, billions of invading bad bacteria attempt to displace the natural and beneficial bacteria of the mouth, teeth and gums. This causes a change or imbalance in the normal bacteria in our mouths and can affect the health of our teeth and gums.

It’s hard enough to get kids to brush their teeth, let alone do a good job of it. Even on properly brushed teeth, the bad bacteria that cause tooth decay will find a place to hide.

With a great taste children will enjoy, simply dissolve one lozenge in the mouth 1 - 2 times a day, ideally after brushing, to allow the bacteria to colonise and crowd out the bad guys from doing any damage to their teeth and gums. 

Teeth & Gums Kids probiotics with BLIS M18® contains BLIS M18®, a new generation of advanced oral probiotic, developed from a specific strain of beneficial bacteria called Streptococcus salivarius that is found to occur naturally in the healthy mouths of adults and children.  While everyone has this bacteria in their oral cavity, very few have high quantities of the specific Streptococcus salivarius M18 (BLIS M18®) strain.

This product is developed and manufactured under strict quality control systems in our facilities in Dunedin, New Zealand.

Why choose blis?

Here at BLIS we've decided to get back to basics, think of this like a BLIS 101 class, focusing on our core and pioneering products - oral probiotics, or probiotics for the mouth and throat.

Keep reading if you'd like to learn more about what oral probiotics are, how they work, and most importantly how you can benefit from them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Glad you asked! BLIS is an acronym for Bacteriocin-Like Inhibitory Substances - and the core of our science and advanced probiotics.

Probiotics are good bacteria that have been characterised for their beneficial properties. They work by rapidly reproducing and crowding out any bad bacteria. You might be familiar with probiotics aimed to maintain a good balance in the gut, but your gut is not the only place that has a microbiome worth keeping in balance.

Advanced probiotics are slightly different in that they also provide the benefit of producing bacteriocins (small proteins) that are inhibitory against other bacteria species. So, not only do they crowd out the bad bacteria, they inhibit them with bacteriocins.

However, not all probiotic strains can do this. BLIS K12™ and BLIS M18™ are both advanced probiotics strains that utilise Streptococcus salivarius, which means that they have this additional capability.

Streptococcus salivarius is a species of spherical, gram-positive, facultative anaerobic bacteria that is both catalase and oxidase negative. S. salivarius colonises (usually in chains) the mouth and upper respiratory tract of humans just a few hours after birth, making further exposure to the bacteria harmless in most circumstances.

Some strains of S. salivarius are marketed as a probiotic for oral health. Some strains of S. salivarius are found to produce BLIS (the above-mentioned bacteriocin-like inhibitory substances) which are peptides that display interspecies inhibition.

BLIS K12™ and BLIS M18™ are both specific strains of Streptococcus salivarius and the core of our oral probiotics.

As noted, most probiotics are targeted towards the gut and digestive tract.

Oral probiotics, however, are those that support the mouth and throat, protecting the oral cavity (a fancy way of saying mouth, teeth, gums and throat).

BLIS K12™ probiotics populate the mouth and throat with good bacteria, crowding out the bad. In science terms – this is known as ‘bacterial interference’.

By creating a forcefield, oral probiotics can support mouth and throat health. BLIS K12™ is also used in our FreshBreath kits which restore the balance of good bacteria to the oral cavity and can aid bad breath and halitosis.

BLIS M18™ works in a similar way but it is targeted specifically at the bad bacteria that can cause teeth and gum issues.
