Below are some recent questions we've received regarding OraFresh Oral Hygiene Paste, including answers from our team.
sarah.
I have read your reply re Xylitol being toxic but is it safe to use every day? Will the build up cause a toxic reaction?
Hi Sarah,
Thank you for your question.
Xylitol is eliminated from the body and doesn't accumulate, making products like OraFresh safe for daily use :-)
Kind regards,
Danielle.
Fae
Are these the same micro beads which have been banned from human toothpaste etc?
Hi Fae,
Thank you for your question,
The polishing beads present in OraFresh are not the same as the synthetic plastic beads which have been banned in the UK, these are made from silica, which is non-toxic and non-reactive.
I hope this helps.

This product contains xylitol which is toxic to dogs!
Hello Cheryl,
Thank you for your question.
Xylitol is known to be dangerous for dogs and cats in large amounts (usually found in large quantities in ‘sugar free’ foods, or sugar substituted products such as some peanut butters).
Xylitol has been approved for use in cats and dogs under the Catalogue of Feed Materials European Commission Directive 68/2013, and so has been thoroughly tested for safety. It is an ingredient used in dentistry as it can help reduce bad bacteria and plaque build-up.
It is present in other products, for example Aquadent, who claim that Xylitol prevents the fixing of calcium and the formation of tartar. As another close example, garlic is also toxic to dogs in large enough amounts, but when used at a safe dose, is beneficial.
Dose that may cause some toxicity = 100mg / kg of body weight.
Orafresh contains 23.5mg / ml
1cm of paste = 0.75ml = 17.6 mg Xylitol.
Examples:
An average 4kg cat would need 17ml of OraFresh to reach this level, our dosage = 1.5ml
A 10kg dog would need 43ml (about half of the full bottle) of OraFresh to reach this level, our dosage = 3ml
Dogs over ~25kg would need more than the entire bottle to reach this.
I hope that this alleviates any concerns on the safety of this product.
