A Literary Review on Ayurvedic Management of Dentitional Diseases in Infants

Author(s) Dr. Rohit Kumar, Prof. Dr. Amit Kataria
Country India
Abstract In the vast realm of Ayurveda, Danta Sharir—the study of teeth—occupies a pivotal role within Rachna Sharir (the science of bodily structures). This classical discipline offers a profound understanding of the anatomy, development, and functional dynamics of teeth. Among the revered Ayurvedic texts, Kashyapa Samhita distinctly stands out, dedicating a comprehensive chapter titled Dantjanmika Adhyaya entirely to the origin, growth, and characteristics of teeth, reflecting the ancient wisdom and intricate knowledge of infant dental development.
The physiological process of tooth eruption, termed Dantodbhhed, marks a critical milestone in infant growth, symbolizing the transition toward masticatory functionality. However, this phase is frequently accompanied by a constellation of symptoms—ranging from mild discomfort to systemic disturbances—collectively described as Dantodbhhedjanya Vyadhi, or ailments associated with tooth eruption. These manifestations often perplex caregivers and practitioners alike, largely because the etiopathogenesis of such symptoms remains insufficiently understood, even in contemporary pediatric care.
This literary review embarks on an exploratory journey to elucidate the Ayurvedic conceptualization of Dantodbhhed and its related disorders, drawing from classical scriptures and juxtaposing these insights against modern scientific understanding. The review highlights the lacuna in contemporary dentistry and medicine regarding the management of teething-related complications and advocates for a revived appreciation of Ayurveda’s holistic therapeutic arsenal.
Although modern clinical practice does not specify distinct treatment protocols aligned with Ayurvedic classifications of dental disorders, Ayurveda compensates with a rich pharmacopeia of Aushadh Yogas—herbal formulations and preparations designed to soothe, heal, and balance the disturbances arising during tooth eruption. These time-honored remedies offer not only symptomatic relief but also address the underlying doshic imbalances, nurturing the infant’s overall health and well-being.
By synthesizing classical Ayurvedic wisdom with contemporary perspectives, this review aims to foster a more comprehensive, integrative approach toward infant dentitional health—one that honors the past’s deep understanding while embracing the needs of today’s clinical practice.
