Method and system for addressing adverse effects on the oral microbiome and restoring gingival health caused by sodium lauryl sulphate exposure

A method for reducing the likelihood of developing dental caries and halitosis, comprising:

• providing to an oral cavity of an individual subject:
• a first bacterial composition comprising beneficial bacteria adapted to form a biofilm, said beneficial bacteria comprising a bacterium of the genus Rothia, and wherein said bacterial composition does not inhibit growth of a bacterium of species Lactobacillus salivarius;
• said step of providing performed after the individual subject has cleaned their teeth with a toothpaste devoid of sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS);
• a second composition comprising:
• an oral probiotic comprising at least two of the following bacteria:
• Lactobacillus brevis CD2, Streptococcus sanguinis BCC23, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Lactobacillus johnsonii, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Enterococcus faecium, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus reuteri, Lactobacillus paracasei, Lactobacillus casei, Lachnospira, Veillonella, Faecalibacterium and Prevotella;
• at least one zinc-based compound selected from the group consisting of zinc acetate, zinc chloride, zinc citrate, and zinc sulphate;
• and
• at least one bioactive flavonoid selected from the group consisting of baicalein, naringenin, catechins, quercetin, trans-resveratrol, Luteolin, kaempferol, hesperidin, hesperetin, naringin, diosmin, rutin, nobiletin, and tangeretin;
• and
• wherein the halitosis is caused by a pathogenic bacteria that generates volatile sulfur compounds comprising one of methylmercaptan and hydrogen sulfite.
