Dental Product Claim Questions Checklist
A dental-product claim can be hard to understand when it is not clear what the words mean, what evidence is being cited, or who the claim applies to. This checklist helps you capture the claim and prepare questions. It does not judge whether a product is good, safe, effective, appropriate, or worth buying.

How to use this checklist
Copy the exact wording first. Then use only the questions that help. Keep the claim, any relevant label wording, and your selected questions together.
01
Capture the claim
02
Clarify what the claim says
03
Note what is cited
Identifying a source does not show whether it proves or disproves the claim.
04
Mark what needs clarification
05
Keep label wording with the question
06
Prepare one question
Boundary
Keep decisions in the right hands
Keep the exact claim, relevant label wording, and your selected questions together. If you need individual guidance, bring them to a dental professional.
This checklist is general education. It does not determine whether a product or claim is good, safe, effective, appropriate, or worth buying. It is not a product recommendation, ingredient interpretation, comparison, or personal treatment plan. Product labels and your treating clinician’s instructions take precedence. Oral Compass does not evaluate or endorse products.
