The best advice when seeking an over the counter product is to look for either a seal of approval from the American Dental Association Seal of Acceptance or the Canadian Dental Association Seal of Recognition as symbols that recognize a products as being a benefit to the oral health of consumers. The seals are designed to help the public and dental professionals make informed choices.
