In recent years, there has been a growing interest in incorporating medicinal plants into dental care to address various oral health issues. This abstract explores the application and significance of medicinal plants in dentistry, emphasizing their benefits as natural, safe, and effective alternatives to synthetic treatments. The discussion includes the use of medicinal plants in managing dental conditions such as gum diseases, toothache, oral ulcers, and bad breath. Specific plants like clove, neem, aloe vera, and green tea are highlighted for their anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and analgesic properties, which contribute to promoting oral health and preventing diseases. The role of these plants in post-surgical healing and pain management is also addressed. Safety is a key focus, with an emphasis on understanding proper dosages and addressing potential side effects under professional guidance. The abstract underscores the importance of integrating medicinal plants into a holistic oral care approach that combines physical health with lifestyle modifications.  The significance of these plants in traditional medicine and their preventative role in dental care is examined. Additionally, the potential risks of using unregulated herbal products are discussed, emphasizing the need for high-quality, well-researched formulations and professional oversight.
