The recommended daily dose of BioGaia Prodentis is 200 million Lactobacillus reuteri Prodentis (2 x 10^8) CFU (colony-forming units). You receive this dose by consuming 1 BioGaia Prodentis lozenge. In some cases, your dentist or dental hygienist may recommend two lozenges daily.
Chlorhexidine is intended for short-term use (1–2 weeks). It works by non-selectively reducing oral bacteria, which can be helpful in acute situations but is not ideal for long-term microbiome balance.
Temporary odor control, often alcohol-based - primarily bacteriostatic (temporary suppression)
