About Oral & Body Care

Oral & Body Care is an independent consumer-education website focused on the oral microbiome — the community of bacteria that lives in the mouth and plays a role in breath, gum comfort and everyday dental care.

We publish plain-language summaries of publicly available research, simple self-check tools such as our three-question oral microbiome quiz, and overviews of consumer products in this category. Our goal is to help readers ask better questions before they buy anything and before they talk to their dentist.

How we work

We are not a clinic, a pharmacy or a manufacturer. We do not sell, ship or handle any product, and we do not process payments. When we mention a product, purchases and customer service are handled entirely by that product's own manufacturer or authorized retailer on their website.

How we are funded

This site is funded through affiliate commissions. If you follow a link from our pages to a manufacturer's website and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. This never changes the price you pay, and it does not change what we write. Every page that contains an affiliate link states this clearly before the link.

Medical disclaimer

The content on this site is for informational purposes only and is not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Our quiz is not a medical assessment. Statements about dietary supplements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration, and such products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Always consult your dentist or physician before changing your oral care routine or starting a supplement.
