The toothpaste of today is a slow poison

The toothpaste what we basically use to clean up our teeth is basically a mixture of many things such as abrasives to remove the plaque fluorides to strengthen our teeth against tooth decay also has a strong flavour to minimize the bad odours and taste of other ingredients.

        

                            

It also has thickener to keep it on toothbrush. It also contains detergents to remove fatty films and water softener to make detergents to work better.

Artificial sweetners are added to dominate on the taste of cleaning agent.

Agent such as tetra sodium pyrophosphate is added in toothpaste inorder to remove calcium and magnesium salts from the saliva 

so they can't deposit on teeth as insoluble deposits called tartar such as calcified plaque. But it cannot remove tartar that already exists in our mouth .

       

                             

Antibacterial agents such as triclosan is added to kill plaque forming microbes . Certain polymers are added to prevent bacteria from breaking down phosphates.

Desensitizing agent just as  phenols salicylates are also addedwhich is  related to aspirin cum menthol etc. Are added to calm down sensitise nerves in over-sensitive teeth 

Last but not least foaming agents like sodium bicarbonate baking soda is added for mouth taste and mouth feel and it combines with acids and chemicals to release carbon dioxide gas adding to foam produced by brushing . It is also a mild abrasive. 

In white pastes titanium dioxide is used to make paste to make opaque and white.
