Have you tried a toothpowder to clean your teeth?
Danta is the the Sanskrit word for tooth.
We can find information about Danta in the Ayurvedic classical texts of the
- Charaka and Sushruta Samhita
- Astanga Samgraha and
- Kasyapa Samhita. Acharya Kasyapa is the pioneer of the field and has a separate chapter on this:
Normal healthy teeth are strong, white, smooth without decay. The gums should be even, pink and smooth. Gums are known as Dantamansa or Dantaveshta.
According to Sushruta (Author of Sushruta Samhita) fifteen disease of the roots of the teeth and gums have been mentioned. To prevent tooth and gum disease good oral hygiene should be implemented in our Dinacharya (Daily Routine).
Ayurveda recommends herbs with a bitter and astringent taste for your oral hygiene.
They are natural antibacterial and anti fungal in nature.
Tooth powders are made out of coarse ground spices. Many of those spices which we often use in daily cooking so if you swallow them it is absolutely fine.
