Seems to help. Like many other reviewers I used to get tonsil stones but haven't experienced any since I started this product. I feel like my breath and tongue health may be a little better, but it's very subjective and observational. I read a medical study linking some of the oral probiotics in this product to improved skin health. So far, not sure if this product is doing anything beneficial overall but at least the tonsil stones have subsided. The flavor is not too minty but there's also no "bad" taste. I find it preferable to quickly chew them after brushing teeth, let them dissolve a little, and wash any remnants down with a glass of water.

I purchase my second bottle of these because I notice a slight difference. The taste is very unpleasant initially, but it then turns into mint flavor so just bare with it. I'm hoping that these work for my sensitive teeth, and morning breath.

Just spent 70.00 USD on additional probiotics including Pro-Dental by Hyperbiotics.

Please see my original review about Hyperbiotics and Dr. Mercola within the last 5 days.

I am a Medical Doctor with weight loss clinics in the Atlanta area. I am writing a book for our patients and I reviewed the medical literature on Probiotics and Prebiotics. After my review of the medical literature I have selected only 3 probiotics to recommend to my patients. I selected Hyperbiotics Pro 15 and Dr. Mercola's Complete and Probiotics Pro-12 (my best medical friend is a Functional Medicine M.D. and she takes this probiotic).

I selected and took Dr. Mercola's Complete for 3 months, daily as my first trial. Since I am writing the book, I wanted to see the difference between products so I bought Hyperbiotics Advanced (15 billion CFU/tablet) on Amazon, to be my second trial.

Within 1 day I saw a significantly better GI/weight response with Hyperbiotics Advanced. Again understand a test subject number of 1 means nothing. This may only be my personal response.

Please don't expect any result similar to mine. Remember I changed my gut bacteria over 3 months with Dr. Mercola's Complete Probiotics.

Despite an experiment with only 1 subject (me), I will recommend Hyperbiotics Advanced Pro-15 first to my patients and if the outcome is not what is wanted I will shift them to Probiotics Pro-12 or Dr. Mercola's Complete formulation.

I personally will only be purchasing Hyperbiotics Pro-15. I will test the effect of the 5 billion versus the 15 billion CFU tablets. My friend will be testing her probiotics Hyperbiotics Pro-15 Advanced versus Probiotics Pro-12. She has true Celiac disease, not just gluten"“sensitivity.

I would also suggest reading the very recently released book by Dr. Perlmutter, M.D. (May 2015) on Brain Maker if you are interested in probiotics. I read this book for my book.

My husband bought different ones. I did the work of looking at reviews and bought these. We tried each others. He threw his in the trash and asked me to order him these. I have bought several times since. I even bought them as stocking stuffers. THEY REALLY WORK!!! I can eat onions at night and put one in my mouth at night to suck on before sleep. Can't tell the next morning that I had onions. It's also great if you have dry mouth from medications. I rarely write reviews but I had to share this. Totally amazing! I promise you will not be disappointed because it's that amazing!

I am a firm believer in probiotics and in the general theory of their function in health and digestive balance. So it made sense that when I wanted to tackle some mouth and tonsil issues head on with everything available on the market, I decided to give this a try. In just over a week, I have noticed dramatic positive outcomes including less mouth dryness, tighter pink gums, an overall clean feeling that lasts well into the afternoon, less sinus and nasal drip, and no more tonsil stones. However, I should note that these probiotics were used in combination with a few other aggressive techniques so it is impossible to say whether the PRO-Dental is the main contributor or just working in tandem (or not working at all!). In any case, here is my new regimen that has worked wonders:

1. Started oil-pulling with Coconut oil in the AM for 20 minutes, followed by salt water rinse and gargle.
2. Wipe down tonsils with sterile Q-tip (which you can also purchase on Amazon for a reasonable price). VERY IMPORTANT that you only use sterile q-tips that are individually packed, otherwise you will introduce bacteria to your tonsils.
3. Reduced use of Listerine to only once per every 3 days to avoid over-killing good bacteria. Focus mainly on gargling as opposed to swishing since the oil pulling does a great job of taking care of the bacteria in the mouth (as opposed to the tonsils).
4. 1 week intense treatment with PRO-Dental (2 tablets every morning and night after all brushing/rinsing/pulling is done), followed by a taper to 1 tablet in the morning and night thereafter.

The combination of the above techniques along with the standard brushing 2-3 times per day, flossing in morning and night has worked very well.

Now for the downside: The price. At $25 a bottle and with no clinical data to prove its efficacy, buyer beware. If you are not cash strapped and are desperate to tackle mouth issues (i.e. tonsil stones), it's worth trying. Try it without the oil pulling and then with to determine the Pro-dental's effectiveness. Highly recommended for acute self-treatment, but I cannot see financially supporting continued use of this product in the long term.
