FAQs - Everything to know about your Beam routine
Who founded Beam Theory? Who developed the products?
Our brand was founded by Australian cosmetic dentist Dr Nerma, using the emerging dental tech she relies on and recommends. With more than ten years of clinical experience, she built Beam Theory and developed oral care products to share her specialised expertise with the world.
How is Beam Theory different from other dental routines?
Beam Theory has bottled Dr Nerma’s modern approach to beauty-meets-oral-care. Our products prioritise strength and structure, not shortcuts, so whiteness never comes at the cost of your smile. Every ingredient was chosen for its efficacy and ability to create lasting results over time. Meet our hero ingredients here.
Does Beam Theory offer fluoride-free products?
Dentistry is evolving, and Beam Theory keeps up with the science. Depending on the product, we’ve used little to no fluoride. While fluoride is an efficacious ingredient in oral care, we’ve also brought in emerging dental technology that offers scientifically backed ways to whiten and strengthen your smile. Our daily toothpaste, Beam Balance, consists of a small amount of fluoride and relies primarily on biomimetic science. For a completely fluoride-free option, try our Beam Serum, which uses cocoa extract theobromine to help support enamel strength, or Beam Reset which uses fruit derived enzymes to lift away stains.
How do prebiotics and postbiotics work? What does balanced pH mean?
Prebiotics and postbiotics are relatively new in dental care. These innovative ingredients support a healthy microbiome and balance your pH levels, which refers to how acidic the oral environment is. A healthy environment helps prevent decay and erosion, as bacteria that can harm teeth thrives in acidic conditions. Beam Theory products create whiteness and strength within a healthy, balanced oral environment, ensuring your results are sustainable. Our oral care products include a microbiome-friendly toothpaste.
Are Beam Theory products TGA approved?
Our oral care products are currently pending TGA approval. They have been formulated by a dentist to meet the highest standards in Australia. We will update this page when our TGA approval is finalised.
Does theobromine actually taste like chocolate?
Yes. The theobromine found in our Beam Serum tastes like an after-dinner choc mint treat. Theobromine is naturally extracted from cocoa, and has gained popularity in the dental world with its growing clinical support to support enamel micro-hardness and strength. While it is genuinely delicious, it is also considered a more natural fluoride alternative. There is lots to love about theobromine — try it in our enamel care serum.
How do I use the three-step Beam routine?
Brush with our microbiome toothpaste Beam Balance twice daily. Replace your regular toothpaste with it to set the foundations for a brighter, beaming smile. Use one pump of our enamel care serum, Beam Serum, every night as an after dinner treat. Use our whitening toothpaste Beam Reset weekly or more as a teeth stain remover and mineral shield against future build-up.
How does Beam Theory create long-term results?
We focus on strength, not shortcuts. Our oral care products deliver healthy brightness, not faux whiteness at the cost of your smile. Beam Theory was born to replace whitening solutions that cause erosion or sensitivity. Our first priority is the integrity and structure of your teeth. Second, the benefits of whiteness compound.
