What is miswak, and why is it in toothpaste? — Toothpaste "Miswak", 170 g-Dabur

Miswak is an extract from the twigs of the Salvadora persica plant, which is traditionally used for cleaning teeth in the Middle East, Asia and Africa. Miswak twigs were chewed and used as a natural “tooth-cleaning tool” long before modern toothpastes appeared.

In DABUR Miswak Toothpaste, this extract complements a standard cleansing base: the abrasive components mechanically remove soft plaque from the tooth surface, while miswak is valued for its cleansing properties and its ability to help maintain a feeling of freshness in the mouth. The toothpaste thus combines the familiar format of daily hygiene with a plant ingredient that has centuries of use behind it.

The toothpaste suits those who are interested in products with plant extracts or want to vary their usual choice of oral care products — without having to change the way they brush their teeth.
