Toothpaste has been a part of our dental hygiene routine for decades now. The daatun used by ancestors was long replaced by toothpaste and over time, we saw an influx of several brands ruling the dental hygiene market. While Colage and Pepsodent still remain one of the commonly used toothpaste in Indian households, there are some Herbal Toothpaste brands that claim to be a better and safer alternative. Let’s look at some Herbal toothpaste brands that I have tried and if they really stand true to their claims:
Patanjali
Patanjali needs no introduction as it is a reputed brand by Yoga Guru Ramdev. Patanjali toothpaste claims to be a natural toothpaste that is enriched with natural properties. Patanjali is based on natural ingredients, and hence, it is safe to be used by both adults and children. The toothpaste cleans the teeth well and leaves you feeling fresh. It promotes overall oral well-being. One of the best things about Patanjali is that the toothpaste is affordable and can be bought by the masses. My experience was decent with the toothpaste and people can certainly use it for dental hygiene.
Vicco
Vicco is one of the oldest brands in the market. Vicco Vajradanti has been one of the most popular toothpaste amongst the older generation, and they can vouch for the benefits of this herbal toothpaste. It is infused with natural ingredients that promote overall dental well-being. For decades now, the brand has been meeting the needs of the users and has still retained the quality. I have used the toothpaste and felt fresh after brushing. It does its job well, and there is no irritation or unnecessary cool feeling that is common with present-day toothpaste, especially the gel ones. It is a fluoride-free toothpaste that claims to strengthen the gum health in the long run.
Ayurfresh
Ayurfresh, as the name suggests, is based on Ayurvedic ingredients for keeping your teeth and gums in good condition. It is a good product for complete dental care that doesn’t contain any harmful chemicals. It is known to have Neem, Elaichi, Dalchini, Bakul, and Gandhpure to name a few. The paste is also known for treating bleeding and sore gums which is a common dental care issue. Ayurfresh is a good paste to prevent bad breath and feel fresh for long. It also prevents tooth decay and strengthens the gums.
Dabur
Dabur is a reputed brand in the field of toothpaste, and it is a popular brand for herbal products. It not only whitens your teeth but also strengthens them. The Dabur toothpaste offers a wide range of dental benefits, such as protection from cavities, toothache, gingivitis, plaque buildup, weak teeth, yellowing of teeth, bad breath, gum issues, and more. It is recommended to use the paste twice a day. Its Indian medicine formulation is the best for promoting oral health.
Meswak
Meswak is yet another herbal paste brand that has been popular in the dental hygiene market for years. The unique flavor of the paste leaves you fresh after brushing and offers the satisfactory feeling of cleaning your teeth well. It helps fight germs and bacteria and reduces tartar and plaque. Thus, issues such as bad breath and tooth decay stay away. It is a one-stop solution for complete dental care.
Himalaya
Himalaya products have been quite popular as it has been established as a herbal brand for years. A good thing about the Himalaya paste is that it understands the needs of modern Indian users. The paste is known for being rich in antioxidants. It is good for fighting against oral issues and promotes healthier gums. It is fluoride-free toothpaste which doesn’t harm your teeth at all.
Colgate Swarna Shakti
Colgate has been hands down one of the most popular names in the field of toothpaste. It has been ruling the market for decades now as one of the top players. When Colgate launched its herbal dental care variant Swarna Shakti, it was a must-try. Like any herbal toothpaste it is enriched with natural ingredients such as Amal, Tulis, Honey, Nemm, Clove, and more. It promotes dental care and leaves you with a refreshing sensation. The teeth look healthy and shiny throughout the day. It offers gu care with anti-germ protection. The brand claims to promote overall dental well-being in the long run. By keeping the harmful bacteria at bay, it promotes teeth and gum health.
Achieving healthy teeth and gum free from decay needs a lifetime of care that is performed daily. Apart from using a herbal toothpaste, it is important to follow a healthy oral-care routine.
- You must brush your teeth daily twice a day with the herbal toothpaste.
- Flossing and tongue-cleaning is a good habit and must not be ignored.
- A well-balanced diet with fresh fruits and vegetables promotes good dental health.
- It is good to avoid sugary food and sweets. If you have them, it is recommended to brush your teeth or squish them with water immediately.
- Excessive alcohol consumption and smoking must be avoided as it affects dental health.
All the above-mentioned herbal toothpaste are at par with the regular toothpaste. They leave you feeling fresh and help get rid of the plaque. You smell good and the teeth look healthy. There is no sensitivity or gum irritation with herbal pastes. However, as far as other benefits of herbal toothpaste are concerned, you need to use them for long enough to witness the difference. In my opinion, Patanjali, Dabur, and Vicco are the best choices from the above list.
Do share your experience if you happen to use any of these or other herbal brand pastes.
