I have used a few different ones, but never stuck to them until recently.
I started with the Great Oral Health brand probably 6 months ago. By-the-way, since Xylitol has anti-bacterial properties, they recommend to not use any right around taking the probiotics. They also recommend waiting a while after brushing or mothwash as they can also be anti-bacterial. I chew on mine about 1/2 hour or so before bed, and keep them in my mouth for as long as possible without swallowing or drinking. Well over 10 minutes usually. I have read about some people putting one up near their teeth at bedtime to slowly dissolve as they sleep.
The brand has both K12 and M18 along with other strains which might have dental benefits. They do not specify the amount of K12 or M18 included. I currently take 1 tablet daily as maintenance.
The only thing which I will claim is that it makes a big difference in my breath in the morning, but that might be some other factor. I have no bleeding after flossing or noticeable inflamation. I will continue with the product, so I guess that says something.

Thank you for sharing, Heisok: interesting. Indeed I had some reservations about using a probiotic with Xylitol in it for exactly the reason you mentioned.
It's always difficult to perceive any noticeable change when you use a supplement and certainly to pinpoint any possible cause-effect, but would you think your dental health improved once you started using these probiotic strains?
I don't have any issues with regard to heavy breath (I'd like to believe :-) ), neither swollen/irrirated/bleeding gums, but I tend to think an overall approach that stimulates a healthy oral flora versus solely using (aggressive) anti-bacterial products, may be more optimal.
The product you mentioned seems interesting. It does contain isomalt, but alas, you can't have it all. Not sure if I could get it here in Europe though; will look out for it.
