Doctors' responses

Toothpaste with high Vitamin C concentration isn’t commonly available, as Vitamin C is typically more effective when consumed orally through diet or supplements rather than topically through toothpaste. The mouth does absorb substances, but its primary function is not for systemic nutrient uptake like vitamin C, which is best absorbed in the gut. If oral health is a concern, consider focusing on a balanced diet rich in Vitamin C. Foods like amla (Indian gooseberry), which is frequently emphasized in Ayurveda, citrus fruits, and green leafy vegetables can naturally boost Vitamin C levels and support gum health.

In Ayurveda, oral hygiene strongly ties with practices like oil pulling with sesame or coconut oil, which helps maintain gum health and balance doshas in the oral cavity. For maintaining oral health, select toothpastes that emphasize natural herbal ingredients such as neem, licorice, or mint, as they have natural antibacterial properties beneficial for maintaining gum health and oral hygiene.

In Ayurveda, Vitamin C is often derived from sources like amla, which is exceptional for oral health and overall immunity. You might consider making a paste with amla powder mixed with water to apply on gums if you’re seeking ayurvedic approach. However, this is more supplemental than an all-round toothpaste replacement.

Off the shelf, toothpastes are designed to clean and protect teeth, not deliver vitamins into the bloodstream. Ensure you’re also flossing regularly and visiting your dentist routinely. For oral vitamin needs, rely on dietary intake or specific supplements following consultation with a healthcare provider. If acute gum issues persist, consider visiting a dental specialist. This approach ensures that oral and overall health are effectively managed.
