What counts as an oral-health supplement?

The category includes products marketed around probiotics, xylitol, vitamins, minerals, botanicals and mixed formulas. They are not interchangeable, and “oral health” can refer to very different goals.

Five questions before buying

1. What exact outcome is being claimed?
2. Is the evidence about the finished product or only an ingredient?
3. Does the route of delivery make sense for the intended use?
4. Could the product interact with medicines, allergies or existing conditions?
5. Is it being used alongside—not instead of—basic oral care?
