Just a small amount of toothpaste on your brush helps fights germs and gives you proper oral care. Ever wonder what ingredients are used by tooth paste manufacturers that keep your teeth healthy and gums tight? While many tooth pastes share common ingredients, there are limited manufacturers who use quality ingredients to make the toothpaste working for your teeth. Manufacturers use both active and inactive types of ingredients that fight cavities and eliminate the risk of gum disease. The inactive ingredients used by manufacturing companies help the experts to make the taste and texture of toothpaste usable. Without inactive ingredients, toothpaste wouldn’t be the same.  Fluoride Fluoride fights against cavities. This common ingredient is used in making of toothpaste to provide strength to enamel and protect teeth against cavities and acidic food. Though there are non fluoride toothpaste options available in the market, but such toothpastes are unqualified for ADA’s seal of acceptance.
