Toothpaste is an essential component in keeping teeth healthy and preventing dental disorders. These days, people are becoming more interested in natural and herbal formulations as substitutes for conventional ones. Toothpaste tablets are chewable, tiny, bite-sized tablets that have a comparable effect to regular oral toothpaste when chewed into a paste before brushing. One of the common bacteria present in the human oral cavity is Streptococcus mutans. Bad breath odor and tooth cavities have been caused by these particular bacteria. The purpose of the study was to develop and evaluate the guava extract toothpaste tablets using the direct compression method against S. mutans ATCC 25175. Also we maximized the use of natural excipient like Stevia, Sodium cocoyl isethionate, Xylitol etc decreasing amount of artificial chemicals. The pills were prepared using the direct compression process in a 500 mg dosage form. The powder blend was assessed for a number of pre-formulation properties including porosity percentage, Hausner's ratio, compressibility index, and angle of repose. Evaluations were conducted on the post-compression properties such as weight variation, hardness, friability, pH, wettability, and foamability. Foamability and disintegration time were used to determine which formulas were the best. For better oral hygiene, the developed toothpaste tablets proved to be a superior substitute for toothpaste
