Answer:

Acids are produced in the mouth due to degradation of sugar and food particles by certain bacteria. Due to which tooth enamel breaks down, or disintegrates, or decays on reacting with acids

Toothpaste, which we use daily for cleaning our teeth, is generally basic. Hence, it can neutralize excess acid present in the mouth and prevent tooth decay.

so that's why it is alkaline
