Three years ago, a dentist and his patient struck up a conversation.

That dentist was Dr. Carl Magyar, an experienced clinical dentist and instructor and that patient was an internationally recognized academic, scientist and researcher, Dr. David Cooper.

In the discussions that followed between Magyar and Cooper, it became clear to both that the long-standing approach to maintaining oral health taught by dental schools and utilized in dental practices was misguided.

Dentists and physicians are taught to kill bad bacteria as a preventive measure, but killing bad bacteria also kills good bacteria – good bacteria that are needed to maintain a healthy mouth.

As a dentist and a physician, they came to understand that supporting and maintaining healthy oral bacteria prevents pathogens from entering the oral mucosa and bloodstream. Therefore, playing an important role in prevention of heart attack, stroke, cancers, respiratory disease, chronic kidney disease, rheumatoid arthritis, Alzheimer’s disease, low birth weight, and more.

With their combined expertise, unique points-of-view, and this research in hand, PhytoDental Solutions was born. 

PhytoDental Solutions is committed to the research and product development necessary to support oral health.

The company’s goal is to support maintenance of a healthy balance of necessary oral bacteria, and ultimately improve and maintain a patient’s health.

The PDS philosophy simply stated is “oral health is well health.”
