Toothpaste 1 article

Toothpaste combines abrasives, flavouring and active ingredients in a formulation designed to support tooth cleaning and, depending on the product, caries prevention, sensitivity control or other oral-health aims. Fluoride compound and concentration are central for anticaries use, while abrasivity and desensitising ingredients can matter in selected patients. Whitening and tartar-control products have different mechanisms and limitations. Formulation, indication and safe use distinguish the subject, since different toothpastes serve different purposes and cannot be treated as interchangeable.
