as our mouth secretes acid , it is therefore toothpaste are made basic so that it will neutralise these acids.

Hello friend..

The reason for toothpaste being basic is that it's main purpose is to counteract the acidity in the mouth. Toothpaste has to be basic because of the presence of certain acidic substsnces in our mouth whose effect can be diluted by the introduction of a basic substance.

Hope it helps
