Abstract

Introduction: Globally, oral disorders persist as a significant health concern. A person’s whole quality of life, which  goes beyond the capabilities of the craniofacial complex, is closely linked to their oral health. The prevention of  periodontal disease and the treatment of other oral disorders have not yielded great results for mainstream Western  medicine. Aim and Objective: The aim and objective of the study are to evaluate the role of holistic approach to oral health. Materials and Methods: Different classical Ayurveda texts, websites, journals, and research articles were referred  in above context. Results and Discussion: As a result, the hunt for substitute products never ends, and natural phytochemicals that  have been extracted from plants and utilized in conventional medicine are seen to be good substitutes for artificial  compounds. Several hundred to several thousand years of use have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of the  botanicals found in Ayurveda material medica as well as Kriya Kalpa procedures such as Kavala, Gandush, and  Pratisarana. Novel preventive or therapeutic approaches for oral health may result from research into the use of  botanicals in traditional medicine. Conclusion: It can be concluded that ayurveda and contemporary system of medicine have significant impact in the  prevention and management of oral health.
