Answer:

Role of toothpaste in preventing cavities

  • The main factor which acts as the cause of cavities is the acid that is secreted from sticky food items and contains high sugar content.
  • The acid secreted from these food ruptures the enamel coating of the teeth and causes tooth decay which in turn leads to cavities.
  • To prevent the tooth from getting affected with cavities, toothpastes are used.
  • Toothpaste is a chemical combination of bases. When acid and base interact with each other neutralization occurs.
  • Thus the role of toothpaste in protecting the teeth from cavities is to reduce the acidic attack by neutralization process.

Answer:

Toothpaste is used to promote oral hygiene: it is an abrasive that aids in removing dental plaque and food from the teeth, assists in suppressing halitosis, and delivers active ingredients (most commonly fluoride) to help prevent tooth decay (dental caries) and gum disease (gingivitis).
