Everything on Read the Label First is general information. It is not medical or dental advice, and it doesn’t replace a visit to your dentist or doctor.
Talk to a professional first
- Talk to your dentist or doctor before starting any supplement, especially if you have a health condition, take medication, are pregnant or nursing, or have a weakened immune system.
- If you have symptoms such as bleeding or swollen gums, pain or loose teeth, see a dentist. Don’t wait to see whether a supplement helps.
- In an emergency, call 911.

About our research summaries
- We summarize published research on ingredients. Results from a study may not apply to you, or to a product that uses a different amount or form of an ingredient.
- Research, labels and prices change. Each review shows when we last checked, and information may be out of date after that.
- Reading this site doesn’t create a doctor–patient or dentist–patient relationship.
