Does it? I see:

We would still recommend brushing your teeth. We don’t yet know whether this strain does anything for gum disease or bad breath.

Emphasis mine.

  Even if it reduces it a bit, there’s no good reason to assume that it causes immunity.
  Lumina is about replacing Streptococcus mutans while leaving Lactobacillus alone. Streptococcus mutans lives on dental tissue while Lactobacillus lives on the gum. Both produce lactic acid.
