Abstract: : Their natural origin, low risk of side effects, and numerous therapeutic benefits, herbal formulations are receiving a lot of attention in the dental care industry. The creation and assessment of an herbal toothpaste that contains medicinal plants with antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antiseptic properties is the main goal of this study. Based on traditional knowledge and established pharmacological effects, ingredients including Glycyrrhiza glabra (liquorice), Ocimum sanctum (Tulsi), Syzygium aromaticum (clove), and Azadirachta indica (neem) were chosen. PH, foamability, abrasiveness, spreadability, stability, and antibacterial effectiveness were all assessed for the toothpaste. The formulation showed notable antibacterial effectiveness against oral infections together with good physical properties. The findings imply that herbal toothpaste may be a more natural, safe, and efficient substitute for traditional oral hygiene products.
