Traditional Ayurvedic care for teeth and gums
Maharishi Ayurveda Ayurdent Tooth Powder is a concentrated herbal dental powder based on a traditional Ayurvedic formula. Its distinctive blend combines clove, ginger, haritaki, black pepper, cinnamon and other aromatic botanicals with mineral-rich red ochre.
Designed for brushing and gentle gum massage, the non-foaming powder helps clean and refresh the mouth while supporting comfortable, healthy-looking gums. Each 30 g jar provides approximately 100 or more brushing applications when used sparingly.
