What does "prebiotic toothpaste" mean?
Most toothpastes only aim to kill bacteria. A prebiotic toothpaste also feeds the good bacteria that naturally protect the mouth. Fennel Fresh uses chicory root extract, a natural prebiotic, to help maintain a healthy balance of oral bacteria.
Is chicory root extract safe for babies and toddlers?
Yes. Chicory root is a plant-based, food-grade ingredient and is used here in a gentle, child-safe formulation that is safe if swallowed.
Is it really India's first prebiotic toothpaste?
Yes – Herby Angel's prebiotic toothpaste range is the first in India formulated with a prebiotic (chicory root extract) for kids' oral care.
Fennel Fresh or Berry Burst – which should I choose?
Both have the same prebiotic and Ayurvedic formula. Fennel Fresh has a mild, cooling, non-sweet taste that many parents prefer as a first toothpaste; Berry Burst has a fruity flavour that helps win over fussy brushers.
From what age can I use it?
From 12 months, or as soon as the first tooth appears (on the advice of your paediatrician).
Does it contain fluoride?
No. It is fluoride-free, so there is no risk if your child swallows it.
Will it prevent cavities without fluoride?
Neem, Khadir and Meswak help remove plaque and fight cavity-causing bacteria, and the prebiotic supports a balanced mouth environment. Regular brushing twice a day is still the key to cavity prevention.
Is it tested?
Yes. Every batch is lab tested – check your batch test report using the link on this page.
