Materials such as calcium carbonate, silicon dioxide, and calcium hydrogen phosphate are used to remove dirt and plaque from the surface of teeth through physical friction.
Children's toothpaste usually uses finer abrasives to avoid damaging baby teeth.
Surfactant (foaming agent):
For example, sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) helps to produce foam and enhance the cleaning effect, but some people may be sensitive to it.
Moisturizing agent:
Like glycerin and sorbitol, prevent toothpaste from drying out and becoming hard.
Thickening agent:
Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose is used to adjust the consistency and texture of toothpaste.
Sweetener:
Such as saccharin sodium and xylitol, which improve taste (xylitol also has anti moth effects).
preservative:
Like sodium benzoate, it prevents the growth of microorganisms.
Active ingredients (core functional ingredients):
Fluoride (such as sodium fluoride, sodium monofluorophosphate): prevents tooth decay and enhances enamel's resistance to acidity.
Antibacterial agents (such as triclosan and zinc citrate): inhibit bacterial growth and reduce dental plaque.
Anti sensitive ingredients (such as potassium nitrate, strontium chloride): relieve tooth sensitivity.
Whitening ingredients (such as peroxides, baking soda): Remove exogenous pigments, but use with caution.
Chinese herbal ingredients (such as honeysuckle and mint): anti-inflammatory and fresh breath.
