ABSTRACT Mimosa pudica, known for its medicinal properties, shows promise in oral care, particularly in toothpaste. Its bioactive compounds—alkaloids, flavonoids, and tannins—have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects, potentially improving oral health. Studies suggest it may reduce harmful bacteria, plaque, and gum inflammation, helping prevent cavities and gum disease. This study examines the benefits of Mimosa pudica toothpaste, its safety, and efficacy compared to traditional products, along with its role in promoting gum health and fresh breath. It offers a natural alternative to conventional toothpaste with fewer side effects, though further studies are needed to confirm its widespread use.
