Toothpastes have several properties, functional and sensory. They also vary in composition.
Common toothpaste properties include:
- Abrasiveness. Toothpaste has an ingredient that is a fine polishing powder. This helps remove the accumulated debris on teeth. As fine particles in toothpaste are brushed across the surface they collect the debris.
- cohesiveness. Toothpastes have a binding agent that allows the easy application of the abrasive in a measurable and easily manipulated paste form.
Other properties can include:
- foaming. Human toothpaste usually has a foaming or detergent property. Animal toothpastes do not, as this can distress animals.
- flavour. Toothpastes usually have sweeteners and floavours to make their use more pleasant.
- Bleaching. Some toothpastes have whitening ingredients that bleach teeth. Others remove surface material that is coloured.
- Strengthening. Some toothpastes have added fluoride because when bonded with calcium it is very strong
- antibacterial
