Fluoride helps prevent tooth decay by strengthening tooth enamel, making it more resistant to acid attacks from bacteria that cause cavities. It also helps repair early stages of tooth decay before they become more serious.
I do not believe that anything is added to help tooth decay. Fluorides are added to fight (not help!) tooth decay.
The most important component of toothpaste is fluoride, which will strengthen the tooth enamel. Some types of toothpaste contain xylitol as well, which acts as an antibacterial to fight caries. Toothpaste also contain abrasive material to help remove deposits of food and plaque and different types of flavor ingredients, e.g. menthol, to remove or mask bad breath.
Chewing sugar free gum can help prevent tooth decay because when you chew the gum, it activates saliva glands and produces saliva which in turn kills bacteria and helps clean the teeth of plaque.
