Frequently Asked Questions About Oral Health

Q: How does an effective oral health supplement work?

The correct formula holds the key to success. The formula should not be filled with ingredients that only look good on the label, but rather with ingredients that have been clinically proven effective and are backed by scientific research for optimum results. The formula should aim to strengthen teeth, boost gum health and promote a healthy balance of good vs bad bacteria. A high quality supplement will help combat inflammation and overcome vitamin deficiencies that otherwise may lead to poor oral hygiene.

Sufficient Vitamin C production is essential to healthy teeth and gums for a number of reasons. It helps boost the production of Collagen, a key component for strong bones and teeth, and works synergistically with Marine Collagen to promote healthy gums. Vitamin C deficiency may also lead to inflamed and painful gums so a top quality formula will aim to avoid this. A reputable oral health supplement will also boost saliva production since saliva protects the body from microbes that may otherwise lead to disease and helps neutralize the acids that are produced by bacteria.

Q: Do all oral health supplements work?

Unfortunately, they do not. There are many shady companies that just go along with the latest health supplement trends, formulating supplements that contain unnecessary or inactive ingredients and the wrong potency or amounts. Often, they even add cheap fillers, binders, hormones, artificial colorings, or preservatives that can hinder the effects of the active ingredients. Do your homework and check the labels to make sure you are taking a quality product and not just some inactive powders in a pill.

Q: What are the important points to look out for?

• It should contain at least 90 mg of Vitamin C to combat deficiencies and promote Collagen production.
• It should include Marine Collagen, a soluble form for stronger bones and teeth.
• It should contain key vitamins and minerals including: Vitamins A, D3, K2, Calcium, Phosphorus and Magnesium.    
• It should provide a synergistic herbal complex with Berberine, Green Tea and Milk Thistle to boost antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory benefits.
• It should include 150 mg Inulin, a prebiotic that boosts ‘good’ bacteria and supports a healthy gut.
• It should contain BioPerine^® to aid absorption, efficacy, and faster results.
• It should not contain any binders, fillers, additives, hormones, preservatives, or artificial ingredients.
• It should be 100% pure, natural and with no unnecessary ingredients that could reduce the effectiveness of the product.

Q: Are there any known side effects to look out for?

Of course, each product is different, so it is always wise to read the label thoroughly and follow the instructions carefully. Our research analyzed many products that generally do not present any side effects if used correctly. However, as with any supplement, we recommend consulting with a doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have an existing medical condition or are taking regular medication.

Q: What are the dosage instructions for oral health supplements?

Again, this differs between products. Always read the label thoroughly and follow the instructions carefully. If you exceed the suggested dosage you could pose health risks to yourself. Generally, we found that most products suggest taking 2 capsules per day.

Q: How long before I start to see results?

Some consumers experience positive effects within a few weeks. For others, it can take longer. Everybody is different. Additionally, results will vary depending on other factors such as the type of diet you consume, your lifestyle choices, and genetic disposition. If you’re skeptical about seeing results, choose a provider who offers a complete money-back satisfaction guarantee as this indicates the manufacturer’s confidence in their product.

Q: What should I expect to pay for a good oral health supplement?

The cost of products varies among manufacturers. Unfortunately, many are cheap, useless supplements that have been formulated without any thought for safety or efficacy. Some of these companies are selling their products for around $100 per bottle, which is much too expensive. On average, the best supplements we found are selling between the $40-$50 price range. Oftentimes, a cheaper price is indicative of low quality or a low recommended serving, which will not be sufficiently effective. Be aware. Read the labels.

Q: Which oral health supplement is the best one to buy?

Since each person’s experience of a product is different, it is difficult to say specifically which one is the best. That said, based on several factors, we did like Dentaprin by Approved Science the most. We found that from the 50+ products that we analyzed, Dentaprin had the best quality of ingredients, potency and strength, consumer feedback, and customer service.

Ultimately, the choice is yours. We hope that our research has gone some way in helping you make your choice. If you are looking for an effective product, we think you can’t go wrong with Approved Science Dentaprin. It is an excellent quality product with great reviews and is well priced.
