Oral & Dental

This section covers oral and dental health. It is split into Teeth and Gums, and Fresh Breath, with reviews, best-of guides and explainers in each.

We check oral probiotic strains and counts, ingredient doses in chews and lozenges, and the evidence behind each claim. Refund terms and complaints are part of every review.

Supplements do not replace brushing, flossing and dental visits. See your dentist for bleeding gums, pain or loose teeth.

Can a supplement replace brushing, flossing, and dental checkups?

No. Brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between teeth, and regular dental visits are the basics of oral health. No supplement has been shown to replace them. Bleeding gums, loose teeth, or ongoing bad breath can be signs of gum disease, which a dentist needs to treat before it damages the bone.
