About Daily Dental Care

Daily Dental Care is a brand of microbiome-focused oral health products developed by Primal Health. The company utilizes its patented Selective Microbial Metabolism Regulation Technology (SMMRT), which integrates microbiology and molecular nutrition to modulate the oral microbiome. By providing prebiotic solutions, the technology aims to shift harmful bacteria away from producing acid toward protein metabolism, thereby fostering oral alkalinity and supporting healthy gums and enamel. Their product line includes formulas such as pHossident and PROtektin, available in forms like lozenges and toothpaste tablets.

Designed to address the root causes of dental issues rather than merely symptoms, these products provide a proactive approach to managing plaque, sensitive teeth, and gum concerns. The company’s innovation is rooted in the work of Dr. Emily Stein, who sought to combat oral dysbiosis after observing the link between dental disease and systemic health issues. Primal Health’s solutions are intended for use by individuals seeking to enhance their daily oral hygiene routines, including those with braces, clear aligners, or high cavity susceptibility. The technology is also applied to products for pet oral health.
