HARVEISH A/L THANABALAN SEKOLAH JENIS KEBANGSAAN TAMIL MASAI

Children, especially those with special needs, often face challenges in using conventional toothpaste due to harsh chemical ingredients, unpleasant taste, strong scent, and sensory discomfort. Many commercial toothpaste products also come in plastic tubes, which contribute to environmental pollution. To address these issues, our team developed an innovative solution — the Evergreen Whitening Tooth Powder — a natural, eco-friendly, and child-friendly oral care product that is safe, affordable, and sustainable.This tooth powder is formulated with baking soda, calcium carbonate, activated charcoal, neem powder, turmeric, clove powder, and xylitol. Each ingredient is carefully selected for its specific benefit: cleaning, whitening, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, pain relief, and flavor enhancement. It is easy to make at home, safe to use, and has a mild, pleasant flavor suitable for children. It eliminates the need for plastic packaging and is a great way to reduce waste while maintaining oral hygiene.Our project also focuses on inclusivity by making brushing more enjoyable for children with sensory processing issues. The powder’s gentle texture and natural taste make the brushing experience more positive. Initial feedback from users — both parents and children — has been encouraging, indicating increased interest in brushing and improved dental hygiene habits.The Evergreen Whitening Tooth Powder not only helps promote good dental health but also supports green living and sustainability goals. It is a simple, scalable innovation that empowers families to care for health and the environment — all while creating happy, healthy smiles.
