Why Product Approval?

The Oral Health Foundation evaluates consumer oral health care products to ensure that manufacturers' product claims are clinically proven and not exaggerated. Oral care products find their way into everybody's shopping trolley, but only a quarter of consumers understand their ingredients and purpose. Plus, almost three in four people do not always believe the product claims. If a product carries the Oral Health Foundation Approved logo a consumer can be assured that claims made on the packaging have not been exaggerated.

Product Recognition

With the significant rise and growth in a variety of dental insurance and care reimbursement schemes, there is a demand from the public, profession and industry to have these schemes recognised. If a scheme carries the Oral Health Foundation Recognised logo consumers can be assured that benefits of a plan are genuine.

Independently Approved

It is important that people are given the added level of assurance they need and deserve. That's why our independent panel of internationally recognised dental experts study all the claims carefully to make sure they are true, and backed up by reliable scientific evidence.

Currently, there are more than 150 approved products and services on sale, including toothpastes, brushes, mouthwashes, interdental brushed and more, supplied in 60 countries around the world.
