Use of herbs in preventive dental care

Abstract

Most of the Indians live in rural India where modern allopathic medicines are unavailable. Use of herbal medicine has been increased recently. Many of herbal products have medicinal properties that reduce inflammation, irritation, and infection related to oral cavity with minimal adverse effects on health when compared to allopathic medicines. Herbs may be good alternatives to current treatments for oral health problems, but it is clear that we need more research.
