Teeth and gums
5 ingredients with authorised wording · 12 assessed and refused · 1045 capsules
The register authorises wording about the maintenance of normal teeth for several minerals and vitamins, quoted exactly on their pages. Brushing, fluoride and regular check-ups do the real work; the Oral Health Foundation is the specialist charity.
Nothing here is medical advice. The wording is the GB register's, quoted exactly; whether a product qualifies to use it is the seller's responsibility. Speak to a GP or pharmacist before taking a supplement, especially if you are pregnant, take medicines or have a diagnosed condition. Wording from the GB nutrition and health claims register; mapping reviewed 4 September 2026.
