Herbs and Oils in Dental Practice

What if the wisdom of traditional healing could be explored through the lens of modern dental science? Herbs and Oils in Dental Practice is a practical, evidence-informed guide exploring how selected herbs and essential oils may support oral health and complement conventional dental care. From periodontal care and caries prevention to halitosis, oral hygiene, wound healing, and post-treatment support, this book brings together scientific background, traditional knowledge, safety considerations, and practical applications in one accessible resource. Inside, readers will discover: key herbs and essential oils used in oral healthcare; their potential antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and supportive properties; practical applications for teeth, gums, and oral hygiene; examples of formulations and preparation approaches; guidance on dilution, precautions, contraindications, and safe use; and practical ideas for integrating complementary approaches into dental practice. Written for dental professionals, students, and health-conscious readers, this guide is intended to complement, not replace, professional dental care.
