ABSTRACT:
Dentifrices, encompassing toothpaste and tooth powder, play a crucial role in maintaining oral health by serving various functions. Given the prominence of tooth decay as a major oral health concern, finding effective solutions is paramount. Tooth powder emerges as a valuable contender in addressing diverse oral care challenges. Concerns over the potential harm posed by toxic materials in conventional toothpaste, particularly for children prone to accidental ingestion, underscore the need for safer alternatives. The mouth, being a highly absorbent region of the body, heightens the importance of choosing oral care products wisely. Ayurvedic tooth powder, with its herbal composition including Arjuna, amla, trikatu, clove powder, bamboo, neem, menthol, haridra, yastimadhu, pudina, lodra, tulsi, ginger, and more, is recognized for its preventive and therapeutic attributes against tooth decay and various gum issues such as swelling and bleeding. This natural approach to oral care aligns with the growing preference for holistic health solutions. In essence, Ayurvedic tooth powder emerges as a promising and safer alternative, providing a blend of traditional wisdom and botanical ingredients to promote comprehensive dental well-being.
