Category guide for the Philippines

Calcium and vitamin D for strong teeth

Calcium and vitamin D are needed for the maintenance of normal teeth and bones. Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium from food.

Dilis, small fish eaten with the bones, milk, tokwa and malunggay provide calcium, while a little morning sun helps the skin make vitamin D.

Vitamin C and plant extracts for the gums

Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of gums and teeth. Kalamansi, guava and papaya make it easy to get from food.

Plant ingredients such as clove, mint, chamomile and propolis appear in many oral care products. In many Filipino homes, water boiled with bayabas leaves is a familiar folk mouth rinse.

Daily care that makes the difference

Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, clean between your teeth and change your toothbrush every few months. Limit sticky sweets and sugary drinks between meals, and rinse with water after merienda.

Visit your dentist at least once a year. A supplement or gel supports your mouth best on top of good cleaning.

How to choose an oral care product in the Philippines

  • Check the ingredient list for calcium, vitamin D, vitamin C or the plant extracts you prefer.
  • Choose a format that fits your day: capsules, drops, gel or rinse.
  • Look for the importer details and expiry date; for supplements, the "No approved therapeutic claims" line.
  • If you have bleeding gums or a toothache, see a dentist before relying on any product.
  • Order from a seller who confirms by phone and offers cash on delivery.

Frequently asked questions

Why do my gums bleed when I brush?

It can be a sign of gum irritation. Brush gently, clean between teeth and see a dentist if bleeding continues for more than a week or two.

Can a supplement replace dental treatment?

No. Cavities and gum problems need a dentist. Oral care products support daily cleaning and comfort.

Are oral care supplements suitable for children?

Most are made for adults. Ask a pediatric dentist before giving any supplement to a child.
