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.
