Not all oral hygiene products adhere to the same standards. The ADA requires dental hygiene product companies to strictly abide to product regulations that are often more stringent than what the law requires. The ADA’s top priority is safety and effectiveness. The ADA is selective with awarding their seal of approval. If a dental hygiene product has the ADA seal that means it has undergone rigorous scientific testing to qualify. Products with the ADA seal have earned the ADA seal.
