Abstract
Toothpaste tablets are small-sized chewable tablet that can be chewed to paste before brushing once it comes in contact with saliva. Toothpaste tablets are claimed to be a sustainable alternative to other oral care products, especially toothpaste, and mouthwash. The main concept behind toothpaste tablets is to lower plastic waste generated after the empty disposal of toothpaste tubes. Toothpaste tablets come in a reusable and refillable jar so a plastic-free approach can be introduced. Though we are unable to promote the zero-waste management concept we can move towards minimization of waste. Also, the concept of minimal use of preservative is another considerable benefit as toothpaste tablet is a solid dosage form free from water. Water is a main component in toothpaste that gives it a semi-solid consistency which makes it a semisolid dosage form. Currently, In India, there is a growing awareness of proper waste management and the production of eco-friendly products. Nowadays people are using medicated and herbal toothpaste for the prevention of tooth-related problems. This review article gives insight into the exploration of tooth tablets as an oral care product to give eco-friendly, cost-effective, and improved dental health.
