Are there any side effects with molecular iodine oral care products?

Will molecular iodine oral care products cause teeth sensitivity or staining?
No. Molecular iodine oral care products have been used by hundreds of thousands of patients without causing sensitivity or teeth staining. If the teeth are coated with starch-containing plaque, the starch may stain, but that stained plaque is easily removed.

Yes. You can freely use any of ioTech’s molecular iodine oral care products while wearing braces or other orthodontic appliances.
What if I forget to use my recommended ioTech rinse consistently?

Are ioTech’s molecular iodine oral care products available at my local store?
No. IoTech’s products are available at leading dental offices, on Amazon, TikTok Shop, or from ioTech’s website.
