NATURE'S REMEDY FOR DENTAL CARE: AN OVERVIEW OF HERBAL TOOTHPASTE

Herbal toothpaste with natural ingredients is more acceptable in public opinion than chemical-based synthetic formulations in the current oral dental care scenario due to their safety and efficacy in reducing dental caries and preventing other dental disorders to which this generation is prone. In this composition, we use aloe Vera gel, clove oil, Neem powder, pomegranate peel powder, all of which have never been used before in any research. These extracts have anti-ulcer, anti-caries, anti-bacterial, and wound-healing properties, as well as certain unique properties including anti-cancer and anti-fungal. Herbal toothpastes were evaluated to determine important physical characteristics such as pH, stability, extrudability, spread ability, foam ability, and homogeneity in order to develop a more effective and stable product. Oral hygiene has become increasingly important globally in recent years. In conjunction with utilizing a toothbrush, toothpaste serves to keep the esthetics and dental health. Scope: This study examined the global significance of oral hygiene, emphasizing the integral role toothpaste plays in upholding both the esthetic appeal and health of teeth. This investigation extends beyond the conventional focus on plaque and debris removal, considering additional facets, such as combating bad breath and preventing tooth decay and gum disease through active ingredients.
