When you shop for dental hygiene products, how do you know which products are best? Which ones will actually provide the promised results and best help your smile? Look for the ADA Seal of Acceptance to know which products are best. The ADA Seal means that a product is safe and effective, and that it does what it advertises.
In 1930, the American Dental Association (ADA) developed guidelines to evaluate dental products for safety and effectiveness. The first ADA Seal of Acceptance was awarded in 1931. Over 300 dental products bear the Seal of Acceptance today.
The ADA Seal is never sold and it is not given lightly. It is only awarded to worthy candidates. When evaluating dental products, about 100 consultants, including ADA staff scientists and members of the ADA Council on Scientific Affairs, review oral care product submissions. They determine if each product is worthy of the ADA Seal. The consultants evaluate many aspects of each product, including materials, microbiology, pharmacology, toxicology, and chemistry. Only products that have demonstrated their safety and effectiveness will be awarded the Seal by the ADA Council on Scientific Affairs.
The next time you are shopping for a dental product like toothpaste or mouthwash, look for the ADA Seal of acceptance. Buying products with the ADA seal can make you as confident in your choice of dental products as you would be if you shopped with our dentists!
