what is hydrated silica?
Hydrated silica is a derivative of silica, a mineral that makes up nearly 12% of the Earth’s surface. In toothpaste, hydrated silica functions as a mild abrasive, gently scrubbing away plaque and surface stains. Davids uses ultra-fine particles of hydrated silica in our toothpaste, which are safe for your enamel.
how does it work?
Hydrated silica works for cleaning teeth through gentle mechanical action. Ultra-fine mineral particles glide over enamel, dislodging plaque and stains without damaging or dulling the surface.
Is hydrated silica good for teeth? The smaller the size, the safer the polish. At Davids, we use U.S.-made, incredibly fine hydrated silica in our toothpastes. This particle size stays well within the American Dental Association’s safe abrasivity standards.
why Davids uses it
The hydrated silica we use is not only safe for teeth, it’s good for the environment too. Many conventional toothpastes use low-quality, imported silica that can be harsh on enamel and extracted through irresponsible mining processes.
Davids partners with trusted U.S. suppliers who uphold strict quality and sustainability standards, so when you polish your teeth with Davids, you’re not just removing stains; you’re doing it in the cleanest, safest way possible.
