Independent Oral-Care Research
Measure. Compare. Choose better.
MouthMetric evaluates oral-care products against one locked methodology — claims scrutinized, evidence graded, and commercial relationships disclosed. Not a clinic. Not marketing.

Topic Compendium
All categories →Foundational category hubs. Each domain maps clinical definitions, active ingredients, and research parameters.
Oral Probiotics
How oral probiotic products are evaluated: strains, CFU disclosure, storage, evidence, and claims discipline.
topicBad Breath
A problem-space hub linking education on halitosis causes and habits to relevant product categories when appropriate.
categoryTeeth Whitening
Whitening product structure: concentration transparency, sensitivity trade-offs, claim labeling, and value framing.
The Testing Framework
Full methodology →Locked Dimensions
Six standardized criteria (Evidence 25% → Claims 10%) produce an objective evaluation index: MouthMetric Score (0–100). Never a measure of medical cure.
Claim Calibration
Score Confidence rates our evidence inputs; Claim Evidence grades individual manufacturer claims. We never use ambiguous standalone badges.
Commercial Firewall
Affiliate relationships are structurally excluded from scoring formulas. We accept no paid placements, no sponsored verdicts, and no editorial interference.
Scoring Weight Allocation:
- Evidence: 25%
- Formulation: 20%
- Transparency: 15%
- Value: 15%
- User Feedback: 15%
- Claims: 10%
