AYURVEDA IN PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY

RANI SOMANI, RIPIN SINGH GAREWAL.


Abstract
Tooth decay is caused by specific types of acid-producing bacteria that cause
damage in the presence of fermentable carbohydrates such as sucrose, fructose, and glucose. The
mineral content of teeth is sensitive to increases in acidity from the production of lactic acid.
Specifically, a tooth (which is primarily mineral in content) is in a constant state of back-and-forth
demineralization and remineralization between the tooth and surrounding saliva. Pediatric dentistry
faces thriving challenges in preventive regimes of child and adolescents and an introduction of
ayurvedic medicine in this context holds a lot of over comings and over rulings. The use of
alternative herbal medicine has achieved a name in hall of fame over the decades, however, its use
in dentistry is restriced. This article aims to review the same.

Key words: Dentistry, Ayurvedic Dentistry, Pediatric Dentistry
