Q&A: How do I know if a product is approved by the American Dental Association (ADA)?

Not all oral health products are approved by the American Dental Association (ADA). Be sure to look products with “ADA Accepted” on the packaging. ADA has approved products in several categories from toothbrushes and toothpastes, to tooth whitening bleaches and sugar free chewing gum. For a complete list of ADA accepted oral hygiene products visit, www.mouthhealthy.org/en/ada-seal-products. The ADA also provides names of water filters that will not filter out fluoride from the water supply.
