What Is Arm & Hammer?
Arm & Hammer is a specialist oral care brand formulated around bicarbonate of soda, a clinically recognised mineral that lifts surface stains, neutralises plaque acids and reduces harmful bacteria. The brand combines mineral-based cleaning with fluoride protection to support cavity prevention and everyday dental hygiene. Products in the range include whitening pastes, enamel-strengthening formulas and deep-clean variants suitable for sensitive teeth.

Why Arm & Hammer Is Important for Oral Health
Daily acid exposure from food, drinks and oral bacteria can weaken enamel and lead to sensitivity, staining and gum issues. Arm & Hammer’s mineral-based formulas target these problems by reducing acidity and removing plaque before it hardens. This makes the range especially beneficial for users seeking whitening plus overall oral protection.

- Brush twice daily for at least two minutes.
- Use gentle circular motions to protect gum health.
- Do not rinse immediately after brushing—allow fluoride to remain on teeth longer.

Expert Dental Insight
Bicarbonate of soda has long been used in dentistry due to its unique chemical properties. It helps break down plaque biofilm, reduces staining from coffee, wine and smoking, and neutralises oral acidity—one of the key contributors to enamel erosion. Unlike harsher whitening abrasives, baking soda is gentle enough for daily use, making Arm & Hammer suitable for long-term oral health maintenance.
Users with recurring plaque buildup or those prone to staining often benefit most from this technology. When paired with products in the oral care category, Arm & Hammer can significantly improve gum health and overall hygiene.
