Which Is the Best Ayurvedic Medicine for Teeth and Gums for Oral Health and Strength?

Question

I have been struggling with gum sensitivity, weak teeth, and occasional oral infections, and while fluoride-based products help, I want to explore the best Ayurvedic medicine for teeth and gums that provides natural oral health and long-term strength. However, I am unsure which Ayurvedic herbs and formulations work best for preventing dental issues.

Some of the most commonly recommended Ayurvedic medicines for oral health include Neem twigs for natural teeth cleaning, Babool bark powder for strengthening gums, Triphala Churna for reducing plaque, and Dant Manjan herbal tooth powder for overall oral hygiene. Many Ayurveda practitioners also suggest oil pulling with sesame or coconut oil for detoxifying the mouth. However, I want to know whether these treatments can fully replace modern dental care or if they should be used as a supplement.

For those who have used Ayurvedic remedies for oral health, what worked best for reducing tooth sensitivity, preventing gum infections, and strengthening enamel?

Would love insights into the best Ayurvedic dental care products and whether they provide lasting oral health benefits.

Ayurvedic remedies like Neem twigs for natural antibacterial cleaning, Babool bark powder for gum strengthening, and Triphala Churna as a mouth rinse help maintain oral health, while Dant Manjan (herbal tooth powder) supports overall hygiene. Oil pulling with sesame or coconut oil detoxifies the mouth, reducing infections and sensitivity. Additionally, clove oil is excellent for toothaches and enamel protection. While these remedies improve long-term oral health, they work best as supplements rather than complete replacements for modern dental care, especially for severe issues like enamel erosion or deep infections.
