Use of Ayurveda in Dentistry

Bys: Kalita, Mitusmita and Dhinsa, Kavita

Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine, plays a growing role in modern dentistry by offering natural and holistic approaches to oral health. Ayurvedic herbs and formulations such as Neem, Clove, Tulsi, Triphala, and Turmeric are used for their antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic properties. These are applied in managing conditions like gingivitis, periodontitis, dental caries, and oral ulcers. Practices like oil pulling (Gandusha/Kavala) help reduce plaque, bad breath, and improve gum health. Integrating Ayurveda in dentistry promotes preventive care, biocompatible treatments, and overall oral-systemic wellness.
