Abstract
Dentifrices are the products which are used to maintain the oral hygiene such as freshness of mouth and to avoid tooth decay. The oral hygiene can be maintained throughout the day by using various dentifrices prepared by herbal and synthetic ingredients. This work was carried out to prepare a tooth paste which can be used as a tool for proper oral hygiene and to overcome the side effects of the conventional toothpaste prepared by synthetic ingredients. The toothpaste was prepared by using various herbal ingredients which possess the antibacterial, antiseptic and cooling properties. Clove, Ginger, Neem, Banyan, Tulsi and Acacia are the herbal ingredients were used in this work to formulate ideal toothpaste which can satisfy all the required properties to keep the mouth fresh and to prevent tooth decay caused by bacteria. The prepared toothpaste was evaluated for its organoleptic and physical characteristics such as colour, odour, taste, stability, foamability and abrasiveness to ensure that it possesses all the desired features to use against the dental diseases. The result was found to be within the permitted limits.
