Question

toothpaste is basic in nature? why

Answer 1

The bacteria in the mouth that is not washed away by saliva reacts with the sugar in these foods and forms acid on the teeth. ... To try and combat this, many types of toothpaste contain mild bases in their ingredients, such as sodium fluoride or sodium bicarbonate, that neutralize the acids.

Answer 2

it is basic because it cancels the effect of acid present in our teeth (HCl)
