YI1010: Dentura 2.0

Mohamad Syazwan Bin Mohamad Bolkia SM SAINS KUCHING UTARA

Toothpaste tubes are notoriously difficult to recycle and often end up in landfills, contributing to our growing environmental crisis. On top of that, prices for everyday personal care items—like toothpaste—continue to climb, putting more strain on household budgets. However, here’s the good news: there are simple, affordable ways to supplement your oral care routine with eco-friendly alternatives. To be clear, this doesn’t mean giving up fluoride toothpaste entirely. Fluoride remains a dentist-recommended essential for preventing cavities and maintaining strong enamel. However, incorporating natural products every now and then can help reduce plastic use, lower costs, and lessen the environmental impact—without compromising your dental health. That’s where Dentura comes in. We’ve developed a natural, chewable toothpaste that blends traditional wisdom with modern sustainability. Made with green betel leaves and eggshells, Dentura offers a safe, effective alternative for mindful consumers. Green betel leaves have long been valued for their antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, making them excellent for supporting gum health. Meanwhile, powdered eggshells, rich in calcium carbonate, can help with enamel remineralization, offering a gentle boost to your teeth’s natural defenses.In the future, we plan to improve Dentura by adding more natural ingredients, creating a version with fluoride, using eco-friendly refill packaging, and working with dentists toensure our product remains safe and effective. With Dentura, you're not just brushing—you’re making a small but meaningful change toward a more sustainable lifestyle.
