Perfect for summer and all year around is RADIUS toothbrushes and dental care products. Theyve been around for awhile and have some really great products ,even for your dog! Here’s an excerpt of my interview with RADIUS.

1.) Why are the ingredients used in oral healthcare products so
important, and what are some of the key features of the new Immune
Support Toothpaste Collection?

Specially selected Ingredients can strengthen enamel and prevent
cavities, while antibacterial agents reduce plaque and gingivitis.
Choosing non-toxic, gentle ingredients are essential to avoid
irritation or allergic reactions, especially given the sensitive
tissues in the mouth. Another aspect to consider is the ability a
person’s oral mucosa has to rapidly absorb substances, making it vital
that ingredients are safe and beneficial to prevent systemic health
issues.

The Immune Support Toothpaste Collection contains specific ingredients
that address unique oral health needs, such as potassium nitrate for
sensitivity and xylitol to reduce cavity-causing bacteria.Good oral
health also supports overall health, making the quality of ingredients
essential for preventing systemic conditions linked to poor oral
hygiene.

2.) What sets the RADIUS’ Immune Support Toothpaste Collection apart
 from other brands?

The new line is designed to enhance oral health and boost the immune
system with a unique blend of beneficial ingredients including:

* Elderberry: Known for its powerful antioxidant and
anti-inflammatory properties, elderberry supports immune function and
helps maintain healthy gums.
* Vitamin C: This essential vitamin boosts the immune system, aids in
the repair of tissues, and supports healthy gums. It also has
antioxidant properties that protect oral tissues from damage.
* Vitamin E: Another antioxidant, Vitamin E, helps in healing and
reducing inflammation in the mouth, promoting overall oral health.
* Micro-Hydroxyapatite: This naturally occurring mineral helps to
remineralize tooth enamel and repair small cavities. RADIUS uses
micro-hydroxyapatite, which is safe and effective for daily use.

3.) Why Nano-Hydroxyapatite is Not Good for the Body?

While hydroxyapatite is beneficial for tooth enamel repair,

the nano-sized particles of hydroxyapatite are very small and can
penetrate deeper into tissues and potentially enter the bloodstream.
This can pose safety concerns as their long-term effects on the body
are not well understood, and they might accumulate in organs or
interfere with cellular processes.

Micro-Hydroxyapatite: In contrast, micro-hydroxyapatite particles are
larger and remain on the surface of the teeth, where they effectively
remineralize enamel without the risk of deep tissue penetration. This
makes them a safer alternative for long-term use in oral care
products.

4.) What are the key benefits of RADIUS’ formulation?

RADIUS’ Immune Support Toothpaste Collection is formulated with
carefully chosen ingredients to promote both oral health and overall
immunity safely. The use of micro-hydroxyapatite ensures effective
enamel repair without the potential risks associated with
nano-hydroxyapatite.

5.) Why is it better to use natural ingredients such as coconut oil,
baking soda, and Himalayan pink salt to gently exfoliate and whiten
teeth? How do these ingredients reduce sensitivity and fight cavities?

Natural ingredients like coconut oil, baking soda, and Himalayan pink
salt are effective for gently exfoliating and whitening teeth,
reducing sensitivity, and fighting cavities. Their antibacterial,
remineralizing, and acid-neutralizing properties make them excellent
choices for maintaining good oral health naturally.

Coconut oil contains lauric acid, which has strong antibacterial
properties. It helps reduce harmful bacteria in the mouth, which can
cause cavities and gum disease.
Unlike some harsh chemical whiteners, coconut oil is gentle and won’t
damage tooth enamel.

Baking Soda is a gentle abrasive that helps remove surface stains from
teeth, leading to a whiter appearance without damaging enamel. It also
helps neutralize acids in the mouth, reducing the risk of tooth decay
and gum disease.

Himalayan pink salt contains minerals that can help remineralize teeth
and strengthen enamel. It’s fine particles provide a gentle
exfoliating effect, removing plaque and surface stains.The salt helps
balance the pH levels in the mouth, creating an environment less
conducive to bacteria growth, thereby reducing the risk of cavities.

Using natural ingredients aligns with a holistic approach to oral
health, focusing on overall well-being and minimizing exposure to
potentially harmful substances.

6.) Why adults and kids have different needs, but this new collection
is tailored for all ages made with groundbreaking variants for adults
and kids, providing localized immune support, heart, and oral health
benefits.

We have 2 different products – 1 for adults and 1 for kids. That
being said, they are very similar in formulation and adjusted to
reduce the mint flavor since kids tend to dislike mint and also we
went with a deeper purple for the Adult versus a lilac for the kids to
ensure kids liked the colors.

7.) How important is it to stay on top of your dog’s oral health?
Maintaining your dog’s oral health is crucial for several reasons,
impacting not only their dental health but also their overall
well-being. It prevents dental diseases
including gingivitis and periodontal Disease: Regular oral care helps
prevent gingivitis (inflammation of the gums) and periodontal disease,
which can lead to tooth loss and other serious health issues.

Without proper care, plaque can harden into tartar, which can only be
removed by a veterinarian. Regular brushing and dental chews can help
prevent this buildup.
Poor oral health can lead to bacteria entering the bloodstream through
the gums, potentially causing infections in other parts of the body,
including the heart, liver, and
kidneys.

Healthy teeth and gums enable proper chewing, which aids in digestion.
Dental issues can cause pain, making it difficult for your dog to eat
properly.
Dental problems can cause significant pain and discomfort for your
dog. Keeping their teeth and gums healthy prevents this pain and
improves their quality of life.

Regular oral care helps prevent bad breath, making interactions with
your dog more pleasant. Keeping up on your dog’s dental health also
cuts back the need for costly veterinary treatments and procedures
down the line. It’s much more affordable than treating advanced dental
disease.

8.) Why is it important for owners to be careful about the types of
ingredients they use for their pet’s oral care?

It is crucial for pet owners to be careful about the types of
ingredients they use for their pet’s oral care for several reasons:

Some ingredients that are safe for humans can be toxic to pets. For
example, xylitol, a common sweetener in human toothpaste, is highly
toxic to dogs and can cause severe health issues, including liver
failure and hypoglycemia.

Certain pets may have sensitivities or allergies to certain chemicals
found in some oral care products. Using products specifically designed
for pets reduces the risk of adverse reactions.

Ingredients in pet-specific oral care products are formulated to be
effective for pets. Human oral care products may not be as effective
and can even be harmful if ingested by pets. Pets often swallow oral
care products. Ingredients in pet toothpaste and oral care products
are designed to be safe if ingested, unlike many human products which
can cause stomach upset or more severe health issues if swallowed.

Many pet products use natural ingredients known to be safe and
beneficial, such as coconut oil for its antibacterial properties and
baking soda for gentle cleaning and whitening.
