Toothpaste is a paste which helps us in cleaning our teeth and help us to prevent from tooth decay and gum diseases. It also removes the plaque that is formed over our teeth......
Salt and Sodium Bicarbonate (baking soda) are the materials added in toothpaste......
Toothpaste is a base with pH 9-10 ....
So ,if the pH scale shows the pH level of toothpaste as 9-10 means it's base and is basic in nature....
The bacteria in our mouth that is not was by saliva reacts with sugar and forms acid which harmful for our teeth.
To combat this , many toothpaste have a lot of basic ingredients....
Sodium chloride or sodium bicarbonate, or sodium dodecyl sulfate which is NaC12H25SO4 .
Hope it helps!
