Formulation and Evaluation of Poly Herbal Tooth Paste

Abstract

Oral hygiene can be maintained throughout the day by using various dentifrices prepared with herbal and synthetic ingredients. Oral hygiene is maintained to keep the mouth fresh and avoid tooth decay. The largest producer of healthful herbs is India which is known as the botanical garden of the world. The main aim of this work is to formulate and evaluate polyherbal toothpaste and compare it with marketed products of the same category. The toothpaste was prepared by using several herbal ingredients which show antibacterial, antiseptic, and cooling properties. Neem, clove, babool, banyan, amla, and many other natural products are used to formulate ideal herbal toothpaste which satisfies all the required properties to keep the mouth fresh and to prevent tooth decay caused by the bacteria. The method which is used for formulating the herbal toothpaste is the trituration method. The prepared toothpaste was evaluated for its organoleptic and physical characteristics such as color, odor, taste, stability, foamability caused by bacteria, and abrasiveness to ensure that it possesses all the desired features to use against dental disease. Thus, the formulated herbal toothpaste was a good herbal toothpaste than the conventional toothpaste due to its side effect.
