Abstract

The risk of oral disorders rises as a result of the oral cavity being exposed to external environmental pollutants on a continual basis, which encourages bacterial invasion. Therefore, it is crucial to keep up with appropriate oral hygiene to reduce the risk of bacterial invasion. As a specific therapy for maintaining good dental hygiene, Gandusha is advised by Ayurveda. By acting as a cleanser and bolstering the oral cavity's defenses, it will maintain and promote oral hygiene. Oral illnesses are treated with and prevented from using Gandusha. The Gandusha therapy will serve as a fundamental instrument for proper oral hygiene, as this review article demonstrates.
