Toothpaste
Toothpaste is a part liquid paste, applied to the bristles of a toothbrush in order to aid oneself with the act of toothbrushing.
Purpose[edit]
This substance has several purposes, such as removing plaque from one's teeth, whitening one's teeth and freshening one's breath.
Types[edit]
- Several toothpaste brands specialize in caring for teeth sensitive to certain conditions (for example heat, cold) or flavours (such as sweetness).
- The majority of these products work by strengthening the tooth enamel, thus easing discomfort and providing the teeth with a protective outer layer.
Flavors[edit]
- Traditionally, toothpaste has a minty flavour, as this is said to allow a sense of freshness in the mouth. However, fruit and flavours have been popular in the past.
- Fruit toothpastes, however, are discouraged by dentists due to their acidic and tooth-eroding properties.
