Abstract
A single use capsule containing dentifrice is disclosed. It includes toothpaste or other dentifrice enclosed in a shell or coating. The dentifrice may include miswak fibers, which acts as a natural brush, therefore obviating the need for a traditional brush. The coating may include choline and albumin. In use, a capsule is placed in the mouth, burst with the teeth, and then distributed throughout the mouth with the tongue. The teeth can then be brushed with a traditional brush, or the tongue can rub the miswak fibers over the teeth in lieu of using a brush.
