Editorial Policy: How We Review Oral Health Products

This page describes how reviews on this site are researched, written, sourced, and updated. We follow it on every page, and we welcome corrections from readers who spot mistakes.

1. Source Hierarchy

For any clinical or biochemical claim we rank sources in roughly this order: (1) systematic reviews and meta-analyses; (2) randomized controlled trials in humans; (3) non-randomized clinical studies; (4) in vitro and animal studies, flagged as such; (5) manufacturer technical sheets. We do not rely on press releases or marketing pages as primary evidence.

2. Citation Practice

Every PubMed citation links directly to the abstract on pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. We do not paraphrase findings beyond what the abstract supports. When a study uses a different strain, dose, or population than the supplement being reviewed, we say so in the same sentence rather than burying the caveat.

3. Review Methodology

A first-pass review covers: ingredient identity (strain numbers when applicable), dose per serving, manufacturing standards (GMP, third-party testing, country of origin), refund policy in plain language, complaint patterns visible across the BBB and consumer review platforms, and pricing transparency. We re-check each of these every 90 days.

4. Medical Review

Every product page is reviewed by Dr. Emily Carter, DDS, before publication and again at each quarterly update. Her review focuses on whether claims are supported, whether risks are presented honestly, and whether the page would mislead a reader who skimmed only the headlines. See About for her credentials.

5. What We Will Not Do

Use fabricated or AI-generated customer testimonials.
Display before-and-after photos that we cannot trace to an original source.
Hide negative findings to protect commission.
Tell readers a supplement will cure, treat, or prevent disease.
Imply FDA approval where none exists.

6. Corrections

If you find a factual error, email support@prodeintims.com. We publish a "Last Updated" date on every page, and corrections are reflected in that date.

7. Conflicts of Interest

This site earns a commission when readers purchase ProDentim through a link on this site. The commission is disclosed near every link, in the footer of every page, and on our disclaimer page. Reviewer Dr. Carter has no equity in the manufacturer and is compensated only for her editorial time.
