Keeping into consideration the oral as well as the systemic health of mankind, probiotic bacteria have been added as ingredients to various food products used daily. The most basic mechanism on which the probiotics work is their unconventional ability to compete with the microorganism for sites of adhesion and improve host immune response or antagonize these organisms. Food diet plays an extremely important role in optimizing oral and systemic health status. Since ages the use of probiotics have been considered only to be involved with the prevention of gastro-intestinal pathology, however some very detailed studies have indicated that probiotics can be useful for both systemic as well oral health.
