CLINICAL RESEARCH
All Arm & HammerTM toothpastes are well below the FDA abrasivity limit and suitable for daily use, thanks to its high levels of Baking Soda producing the lowest RDA values, whilst providing a biological mechanism of deep action cleaning for superior plaque removal.’
Selecting a paste with a low RDA can prevent both sensitivity and structural compromises that can cause the need for future restorative dentistry.
The use of a baking soda dentifrice provides a measure of safety to enamel and dentin in spite of the “vigor” patients may use while brushing their teeth. The low abrasivity of baking soda dentifrices makes them especially suited for safe daily use in oral hygiene regimens.
Neutralization of plaque acids by baking soda is anticariogenic by facilitating remineralization of incipient carious lesions.
Baking soda has been shown to be efficacious in reducing the acidity of plaque fluid. Therefore, its impact on oral remineralization and demineralization is significant
Microbiological studies have shown that baking soda solutions have significant bactericidal activity against oral pathogens.
Baking soda dentifrices favor patient compliance because they have stain-reducing and whitening properties, a feature which motivates patients to brush as instructed by their oral care practitioner.
The collective results from the five controlled clinical studies on over 270 subjects, consistently demonstrate that Arm & Hammer baking soda dentifrices enhanced plaque removal effectiveness of tooth brushing to a significantly greater extent than the non-baking soda dentifrice products.
