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.
