Our Foundation is Research

Scientific research is a central investment made by The Natural Dentist. It's our company legacy and it's the foundation we return to whenever we create or improve our products. We believe this is what sets us apart from every other natural oral care company.

Review some of our research results


We test our products in controlled studies and we work with universities and experts in the field of oral care research to continually evaluate new products and ingredients and their efficacy.

Our Scientific Advisory Board consists of some of the country's top periodontists and dental hygienists. With their guidance, we are able to ensure that our studies are unbiased, thorough and conducted at the forefront of oral care research.

Our research is presented at key dental association meetings and published in high-profile, peer-reviewed journals. We have new studies underway, and will share the results here once they are available.
