A Simple Way to Treat Allergies Daily
If you suffer from seasonal or year-round allergies, you’re not alone. Allergies affect millions of Americans and can cause ongoing symptoms like sneezing, congestion, itchy eyes, coughing, and throat irritation. While medications can help manage symptoms, they don’t treat the underlying cause.
Allergy Toothpaste offers an innovative, convenient approach to allergy treatment by combining immunotherapy with your daily oral care routine.

What Is Allergy Immunotherapy?
Allergy immunotherapy works by gradually training the immune system to tolerate allergens instead of reacting to them. Over time, this reduces sensitivity and can significantly lessen allergy symptoms, oftentimes to the point where patients no longer feel allergic.

What Is Allergy Toothpaste?
Allergy Toothpaste is a specialized oral immunotherapy treatment that contains small amounts of the same allergens used in allergy shots and drops. These allergens are custom mixed by our allergy nurses and technicians based on your specific allergy profile.
Instead of injections or drops, allergens are delivered through the oral lining during teeth brushing, making treatment simple, familiar, and easy to maintain long term.

Why Choose Allergy Toothpaste?
Allergy Toothpaste offers several advantages over traditional immunotherapy options:
- Needle-free and pain-free
- Fits seamlessly into a daily habit
- Improves consistency and adherence
- Safe for both children and adults

Understanding your health
Is Allergy Toothpaste Safe?
Yes. Allergy Toothpaste is prescribed and customized by your provider and used under medical supervision. As with any form of immunotherapy, there is a small risk of allergic reaction. Patients who are advised to carry epinephrine should always have it available and follow their provider’s instructions in the rare event of a significant reaction.
Some patients may notice mild tingling or itching in the mouth during the first couple of weeks, this is normal and usually temporary.
