Our mission
We exist to help readers make informed decisions about oral probiotics, dental supplements, teeth whitening, and gum health remedies — based on peer-reviewed research, not marketing hype. Every guide, review, and recommendation on this site is grounded in published clinical evidence and rigorous independent testing.
What makes us different
💰 We pay for every product
No free samples. No PR boxes. Every supplement we review is bought at retail price — the way a regular buyer would. This eliminates the single largest source of affiliate bias in the industry.
🔬 Research over opinion
Every health claim on this site is cross-referenced against PubMed, the Cochrane Database, and NIH publications. When research is inconclusive or contradictory, we say so explicitly.
🚫 No pay-to-play rankings
Brands cannot pay to rank higher, appear first, or remove negative points. Our affiliate relationships let us operate independently — they do not influence what we recommend or how we score.
🔄 Living reviews
Reviews are re-verified every 90 days. Formulas change, new research drops, and products get reformulated. We update the content and the "Last Updated" date to reflect what's true now.
Our editorial team
Oral Health HQ is produced by an independent editorial research team with backgrounds in health journalism, nutritional research, and consumer product testing. We do not publish medical advice. We publish deeply researched buying guides and reviews that cite peer-reviewed clinical evidence so readers can make informed decisions in conversation with their dental professional.
When our coverage touches clinical topics — gum disease, periodontitis, enamel erosion — we lean heavily on sources such as the American Dental Association (ADA), the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), and peer-reviewed dental journals (Journal of Periodontology, Journal of Clinical Periodontology, Clinical Oral Investigations, BMC Oral Health).
How we're funded
Oral Health HQ is reader-supported. When you purchase a product through one of our links, we may earn an affiliate commission at no additional cost to you. This funds our testing, product purchases, and editorial independence. See our full Affiliate Disclosure for details.
We have never accepted — and will never accept — payment in exchange for a higher ranking, a favorable review, or the removal of critical coverage.
