INTRODUCTION
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 (mainly fluoride) to help prevent tooth and gum disease (gingivitis).[1] 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, but is generally not very harmful if accidentally swallowed in small amounts.

History of toothpaste
History
Early toothpastes
The Greeks, and then the Romans, improved the recipes for toothpaste by adding abrasives such as crushed bones and oyster shells.[21] In the 9th century, the Persian musician and fashion designer Ziryab invented a type of toothpaste, which he popularized throughout Islamic Spain.[22] The exact ingredients of this toothpaste are unknown,[23] but it was reported to have been both "functional and pleasant to taste".[22] It is not known whether these early toothpastes were used alone, were to be rubbed onto the teeth with rags, or were to be used with early toothbrushes, such as neem-tree twigs and miswak. Toothpastes or powders came into general use in the 19th century.

    Rochel just completed her five-paragraph essay and exhaustedly heads upstairs suppressing a yawn. After tiredly getting on her pajamas, she mechanically lifts her toothbrush, smears on a generous amount of toothpaste and proceeds to brush her teeth. Her mind is wandering to how she will pass her test tomorrow, what she should wear on Rosh Chodesh and if she should go with a salad or a wrap for lunch the next day. She then monotonously cleans her toothbrush, rinses her mouth and turns of the faucet unbeknownst to the fact that that extra minute she took out of her nightly schedule saved her much time and aggravation. Tooth brushing seem to be an insignificant act we unconsciously do every day. However, brushing the teeth is important because it helps maintain oral health, it reduces bad breath and gives the brusher a cleaner and whiter smile.…

    Fluoride has been remarkably successful in reducing the burden of dental caries. While the rise in dental caries, which has occurred in many countries, has been due to an increase in sugar consumption, the fall in caries has been due to the increased use of fluorides. Over 50 years ago, fluoride in drinking water was shown to protect against caries development. Since then, much research has shown that fluoride delivered in ways other than in water also protects against dental caries. These methods include: solutions, gels, toothpastes, mouthrinses, tablets, salt, milk, varnishes, mousses, and slow-release devices. It is common to class these as those providing a systemic effect (where fluoride is swallowed intentionally) and those providing a topical effect (formulated not to be swallowed). However, there is much overlap since these 'systemic' methods provide an important topical effect, and some of these 'topical' agents are swallowed, providing some systemic effect. Another way of classifying these methods is automatic, home-care and professional care. All are effective: they can be used in combination, with increased effectiveness, and the task is to choose appropriately to maximise benefit, especially for those with the greatest need, and at least cost. The World Health Organization has repeatedly promoted the appropriate use of fluorides, as illustrated in the statement adopted in May 2007 in Geneva by the Sixtieth World Health Assembly.…

    An infant who is six months old should use just a smear of toothpaste until the age of two where they should use a pea sized amount (Darby, 2015, p. 584). After fluorosis became a major concern, manufactures began to market low fluoride “pediatric” or “children’s” toothpastes that contained less than 600 ppm fluoride (Foundation, 2015). It is best to delay the introduction of fluoridated toothpaste until a child reaches age two because we want them to refrain from digesting fluoride (Darby, 2015, p. 584).…
