Toothpaste is a paste or
gel dentifrice used with a
toothbrush as an accessory to clean and maintain the aesthetics and health of
teeth. Toothpaste is used to promote
oral hygiene: it serves as an abrasive that aids in removing the
dental plaque and
food from the teeth, assists in suppressing
halitosis, and delivers
active ingredients (most commonly
fluoride) to help prevent tooth and gum disease (
gingivitis).

Most 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 due to the
fluoride content, but is generally not very harmful if accidentally
swallowed in small amounts; however, one should seek medical attention
after swallowing abnormally large amounts.
