Abstract

Maintaining oral hygiene is an essential and vital part of our life. We are very much familiar with toothpaste and toothbrush. These products are used to clean our teeth, reduce the chances of cavities, and remove bad odor from the mouth. White and cleaned teeth are one of the parameters of personal hygiene. We can make this oral hygiene process easier and more enjoyable by using chewable herbal toothcleaning gum. Chewable herbal tooth cleaning is small-sized chewable gums that can be chewed for cleaning and whitening of the teeth, and at the same time, we can enjoy the best of flavors in our mouth. The main approach of this formulation is to make the oral cleaning process enjoyable and minimize water usage. Chewable herbal tooth-cleaning gums are formulated using plant extracts like neem leaves, lemon peel, clove extraction, turmeric, baking soda, and xanthan gum base. These extract ingredients possess antibacterial, anticavity, and whitening characteristics, while the addition of peppermint extract and xylitol sugar gives a flavourful experience. The outcome of this formulation shows equal patronizing and engrossing passion over the marketed preparation. It has been a good scope for future research to make the oral cleaning process easier and promote public health.
