Abstract
Interest in herbal toothpaste substitutes has increased due to the growing need for safe and efficient dental care products, particularly for kids. The creation and assessment of a children's herbal toothpaste using natural ingredients including neem, clove, babool, ritha, turmeric, and stevia is the main goal of this study. Because of their shown antibacterial, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and cleaning qualities, these ingredients were chosen. Herbal powders were carefully dried, ground, and combined with humectants and flavorings as part of the formulation process to produce a kid-friendly, potent mouthwash. Physical, chemical, and performance tests were performed on the prepared herbal toothpaste, including measurements of pH, foamability, spreadability, moisture content, and abrasiveness.The formulation satisfied ideal parameters for pediatric use, according to the results, and provided a natural, fluoride-free, and enticing substitute that promotes good oral hygiene, lowers the risk of cavities, and helps kids develop good brushing habits. In pediatric dentistry, the study emphasizes the potential of herbal dental care formulations as a secure, economical, and eco-friendly choice.
