ADA Seal products on display at SmileCon

Dental Central at SmileCon is the place to be to answer the burning question, “What does the ADA Seal of Acceptance really mean?”

Staff at the ADA Seal kiosk in the ADA Hub Oct. 23-25 are giving away quick-reference cards that dental professionals can use to educate patients about the ADA Seal. Visitors can also spin a trivia wheel to learn more about the Seal.

A product with the ADA Seal of Acceptance means it has been rigorously tested and proven to be safe and effective. The first ADA Seal was awarded in 1931, and there are now more than 400 over-the-counter dental products in 21 categories that carry it.
