  • FAQ

  • What does the RDA value represent?

    RDA (Relative Dentine Abrasivity) indicates how abrasive a toothpaste is for the tooth surface and dentin. This value helps dental professionals find the right balance between effective cleaning and maintaining healthy teeth.

    Understanding RDA values:

    0 to 70: Low abrasivity

    71 to 99: Medium abrasivity

    101 to 150: Abrasive

    151 or higher: Very abrasive

    In Europe, a maximum RDA value of 250 is recommended, while in the US, values above 200 are discouraged. Cavex ProphyPaste offers a safe margin within these guidelines.
