Toothpaste is used to: 1. promote oral hygiene 2. serve as an abrasive that aids in removing the dental plaque and food from the teeth 3. assists in suppressing halitosis 4, delivers active ingredients such as fluoride or xylitol to help prevent tooth and “ gum disease (gingivitis) lost of the cleaning is achieved by the mechanical action of the toothbrush, and not by the toothpaste, Salt and sodium’bicarbonate (baking soda) are among materials that can be substituted for commercial toothpaste. — Toothpaste is not intended to be swallowed, but is generally not very harmful if accidentally swallowed in small amounts. Toothpaste Formulation Components: In addition to 20-42% water, toothpastes are derived from a variety of components, including three main ones: abrasive 4, fluoride 2. detergents rasives brasives constitute at least 50% of a typical toothpaste. These insoluble particles help remove plaque from the teeth:“The removal of plaque and calculus helps minimize cavities and periodontal diseases. Representative abrasives include particles of aluminum hydroxide (AKOH)s), calcium carbonate (CaCO;), various calcium hydrogen phosphates, various silicas and zeolites, and hydroxyapatite (Cas(PO«)sOH). ‘Abrasives, like the dental polishing agents used in dentists’ offices, also cause a ‘small amount of enamel erosion, which is termed "polishing" action. Some brands contain powdered white mica, which, acts as a mild abrasive, and also adds a cosmetically pleasing glittery shimmer to the paste. ‘CEU School of Pharmacy aB/Page Laboratory Guide for Manufacture of Drugs, Cosmetics and Veterinary Medicine The polishing of teeth removes stains from tooth surfaces, but has not been shown to improve dental health over and above the effects of the removal of plaque and calculus. Fluorides x Fluoride in various forms is the most popular active ingredient in toothpaste to prevent cavities. Fluoride occurs in small amounts in plants, animals, and some natural water sources. The additional fluoride in toothpaste has beneficial effects on the formation of dental -enamel and bones. Sodium fluoride (NaF) is the most common source of fluoride, but stannous fluoride (SnF2), olaflur(an organic salt © of _—fluoride), and sodium monofiuorophosphate (NazPOsF) are also used.
