Biocidin Botanicals ® Introduces Dentalflora™ Daily Oral Probiotics
New addition to the company’s SMILE product category reflects growing body of research on the oral microbiome
Watsonville, CA (February 1, 2024) – Biocidin Botanicals® , a leader in botanical supplements and a pioneer in microbiome health, has added dentist-formulated Dentalflora™ to its growing SMILE category of Dentaceuticals® . Dentalflora™ is a daily oral probiotic that promotes healthy teeth and gums and fresh breath by populating the mouth with beneficial bacteria. Naturally flavored with organic spearmint leaf extract and sweetened with xylitol, each dissolvable tablet offers the power of four research-backed probiotics that support oral health and a flourishing oral microbiome
“Dentalflora™ is a game-changer for healthcare practitioners and their patients,” said Rachel Fresco, Biocidin Botanicals Founder and Formulator. “Research about the oral microbiome has exploded in the last several years, confirming that whole-body health begins in the mouth. Who thinks of improving their overall health by starting in their mouth? The research points to oral probiotics as the natural next step for supporting oral microbiome balance, and we’re excited to bring Dentalflora™ to market.”
Biocidin Botanicals collaborated with Functional Dentist Dr. Ariana Ebrahimian to formulate Dentalflora™. Dr. Ebrahimian is a Biocidin Botanicals’ Scientific Advisory Board member and an active member of industry-leading professional organizations, including the American Academy of Oral-Systemic Health and the Institute for Functional Medicine.
“Exciting advances in dental research show that certain probiotic species and strains can create peptides called ‘bacteriocins’ that are toxic to unwanted microbes, including those implicated in issues that impact systemic health,” Dr. Ebrahimian explained. “I’ve seen great results with my patients who have added probiotics to their oral care regimen, and Dentalflora™ has everything I feel is needed in an oral probiotic.”
About Dentalflora™
Dentalflora™ is formulated with a proprietary blend of four targeted, science-backed probiotics – including evidence-based BLIS M18® – at researched levels. It’s exceptionally shelf-stable, with a guaranteed 5 billion CFU at manufacture and 3 billion CFU at 18-month expiration. Dentalflora™ is free from artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives.

BiocidinBotanicals Launches Dentalcidin OralCare System, the First Dentaceutical Solution for Oral Microbiome Health
Recyclable Packaging Advances Sustainability Mission
NEWS RELEASE BY Biocidin Botanicals
Aptos, CA | September 08, 2022 08:30 AM, Eastern
Biocidin Botanicals®, a pioneer in botanical supplements and microbiome health, announced today the launch of its two-step Dentalcidin® Oral Care System. The system consists of the company’s reformulated and repackaged Dentalcidin® Oral Microbiome Toothpaste along with its Dentalcidin® LS Liposomal Rinse. Combining the toothpaste and oral rinse into a two-step system ensures comprehensive health benefits for customers. It also recognizes the science-backed connection between the oral microbiome and whole-body health. (Learn more)
“We’re excited to take what we’ve learned over the past 30-plus years about microbiome health and apply it to the things we use every day, like toothpaste and mouth rinse,” said Rachel Fresco, L.Ac., Ph.D., Biocidin Botanicals’ Founder and Formulator. “Research continues to confirm that whole-body health starts in the mouth. These products are more than just toothpaste and mouthwash. We’ve coined a new term for it. They’re “Dentaceuticals™” – natural dental formulations that improve the health of teeth and gums and ultimately support whole-body wellness. When used together, these products provide incredible health support!”
Dentalcidin Oral Microbiome Toothpaste® has been available for several years. In response to customer feedback and keeping with the company’s sustainability goals, Biocidin Botanicals reformulated and repackaged the toothpaste this year, a decision that reflects its commitment to both people and planet.
“As a company, we believe our choices matter,” Fresco said. “We care about our customers and listen to them. We also constantly evaluate our impact on the planet. That’s why we made the decision to reformulate the toothpaste to be 100% plant-based and to deliver it in a sleek, stand-up tube that is 100% recyclable. It’s easier to use and easier on the planet.”
Dentalcidin® Oral Care System is a breakthrough in oral care utilizing the 18 botanical extracts and essential oils in Biocidin®, our legacy, broad-spectrum botanical blend. More than just toothpaste and mouthwash, this unique two-step system is a Dentaceutical™ solution – impacting the health of teeth and gums and ultimately supporting whole-body health.
Both products in the Dentalcidin® Oral Care System are powered by the 18 botanical extracts and essential oils in Biocidin®, the company’s broad-spectrum, legacy formula. This clinically effective, evidence-based proprietary blend has been trusted by health professionals for over 32 years. Great Smokies Diagnostic Laboratories (now Genova Diagnostics) called it one of the most potent natural formulations they’ve ever analyzed.
With other select botanicals providing added synergy and benefits, the entire system relies on a 100% natural, plant-based, and chemical-free ingredient list to give practitioners and consumers robust health benefits derived from the best botanical sources.
The Dentalcidin® Oral Care System delivers the results usually associated with toothpaste and an oral rinse. It whitens teeth, freshens breath, and is gentle enough for sensitive teeth. But thanks to Biocidin Botanicals’ commitment to putting “Serious Science Behind Every Smile™,” its benefits go far beyond.
Comprehensive university research, case studies, rigorous testing, and innovative formulation processes have resulted in a system with unique health benefits. The Dentalcidin® Oral Care System:
- Assists in removing oral biofilms (plaque)
- Utilizes liposomal technology for deeper penetration in the periodontal area*
- Supports gum and gingival health with targeted ingredients such as CoQ10, quercetin, clove, and myrrh*
- Provides tissue-soothing activity*
- Supports oral microbiome balance for whole-body health*
- Keeps teeth feeling clean and smooth all-day
“This system really demonstrates the power of botanicals to support a balanced oral microbiome,” Fresco said. “Because oral health directly impacts systemic health, a balanced oral microbiome also supports whole-body health, including cognitive, respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and joint health. But the reverse is also true. Poor oral health impacts more than just your mouth. That motivated us to develop something uniquely powerful, an innovative Dentaceutical solution.”
Dentists, dental hygienists, and integrative and functional practitioners recommend Dentalcidin® toothpaste and oral rinse. Functional dentist Dr. Ariana Ebrahimian says of the products, “I highly recommend Biocidin Botanicals’ oral care products to my patients and use the liposomal rinse in our scaling procedures. They are incredibly effective at busting up harmful biofilms in the mouth and rebalancing the oral microbiome without the harsh side effects of chemicals.”
The launch of Biocidin Botanicals’ Dentalcidin™ Oral Care System is a true breakthrough in oral care, bolstering the company’s position as a thought leader and innovator in the botanical supplements space.

These formulations aim to achieve optimal health by maintaining balanced microbial ecology and are now conveniently grouped into five categories of functional activity: Remove, Bind, Restore, Defend, and Smile. This categorization was created for practitioners to simplify the path to wellness and support patient compliance.

Bind product G.I. Detox™+ detoxifies the body by intercepting and eliminating unwanted toxins and microbial byproducts.

This evidence-based professional product line prioritizes quality and transparency. All Biocidin Botanicals™ products are free of common allergens, unnecessary fillers and excipients, and artificial colorings and flavorings.
Additionally, Biocidin Botanicals® offers clinical support for healthcare providers through its online educational hub, Biocidin® Academy. Here, health professionals access personalized training, webinars, and scientific research, including clinical trials and case studies.
