Tooth paste;
Every morning and night, you squeeze
a small amount of toothpaste onto your toothbrush. But have you ever wondered
what is in toothpaste that makes it clean your teeth? Most toothpastes share
common ingredients, both active and inactive.
Both Active and inactive ingredients
are categorized as 1) Fluorides 2) Flavors 3) Humectants 4)Detergents 5)
Abrasives .Among these five ingredients Fluorides are active and the rest
are inactive
.
1)
Fluoride is an Active ingredient is
that helps to fight cavities and reduce your risk of gum disease. When it comes
to fighting cavities, fluoride plays a starring role. The American Dental
Association (ADA) Mouth Healthy site has stated that this common ingredient is
"nature's cavity fighter." It's a mineral that helps strengthen the
enamel on your teeth.

2)
Flavors Toothpaste flavors typically
come from sweetening agents, such as saccharin or sorbitol. Some toothpaste,
such as Colgate® 2in1, are even fruit-flavored for children's use. Although
these ingredients give the toothpaste a sweet taste, it's important to note
that these toothpastes don't contain sugar and thus won't cause tooth decay.
The ADA may give its Seal of Acceptance to toothpastes with sweeteners, but it
will not sign off on toothpaste that contains decay-causing sugar.
3)
Humectants are some of those
flavoring agents, like sorbitol, actually play two roles. Sorbitol is an
example of a humectant, an ingredient that prevents loss of watering the
toothpaste. A humectant traps water in the toothpaste so that when you squeeze
the tube, you get a nice, smooth substance. Along with sorbitol, other examples
of humectants include glycol and glycerol.
4) Detergents are important to have
detergents in toothpaste because they help to provide foaming to occur when you
brush your teeth. One of the most common detergents placed in toothpastes is
sodium lauryl sulfate.
5)
Abrasives are the ingredients that actually remove food debris and stains from
teeth.

Today's
abrasives are a bit gentler and typically include calcium carbonate, dehydrated silicia gels and
hydrated aluminum oxides. The goal of the abrasive ingredients in modern
toothpaste is to scrub the surface of the teeth without scratching or damaging
your tooth's enamel besides all these multiple uses given below.
