Q: How do I improve my dental health with the right dental products?

It can be intimidating walking through the dental products aisle at a grocery store or a pharmacy. 

You’ll see plenty of promises from different manufacturers telling you that their product will make your teeth whiter, protect you from cavities and so much more. We get it. Choosing the right product can be difficult. 

To help you pick dental products that are safe and effective, look for the Canadian Dental Association (CDA) seal on the packaging. 

The CDA seal can be found on different dental products from toothpastes to sugar-free gums. And when you see one stamped on a dental product, you can trust that it’s been through rigorous testing by scientific experts.

What Makes The CDA Seal Helpful To Your Oral Health Purchases?

A CDA seal stamped on a product validates the oral health benefit claims from manufacturers. 

After a manufacturer applies for the CDA seal for their specific dental products, the Canadian Dental Association independently reviews the evidence they submitted to support their claims. A product will receive a CDA seal only after it has successfully completed this review process. 

When you see a CDA seal on a dental product, be assured that the product will improve your oral health the way the manufacturer said it will. The accuracy of these claims are supported by scientific evidence. 

So, the next time you are out buying dental products, make sure to look for the CDA seal.
