Many people find maintaining proper dental and oral hygiene difficult, but elderly adults and young children may find it particularly difficult due to poor motor abilities. Dental health has been fundamental to all societies and civilizations for centuries. Controlling the microorganisms that cause dental plaque and bad breath is essential for maintaining good oral health. This study aims to analyze the ingredients and composition of both formulated oral herbal care products and market toothpaste and assess the antimicrobial efficacy against common oral pathogens, to evaluate the safety profiles of herbal and market toothpaste and to measure their effectiveness in maintaining oral hygiene, reducing plaque, and preventing dental caries. This study examines product performance and preferences for formulated oral herbal care products compared to commercial toothpaste. Based on the comparative analysis, the study provides recommendations for consumers seeking safe and effective oral care solutions. Herbal toothpaste used in the current study was assessed for its physical and organoleptic qualities, including color, flavor, the potential of hydrogen, spreadability, moisture content, fineness, and foamability.
Keywords: Oral Herbal Care, Foamability, Antimicrobial activity, Minimal inhibitory concentration.
