What is the chemical added to toothpaste to encourage healthy teeth?

There are two main chemicals, Abrasives and Flouride. Abrasives help remove plaque from the teeth. Representative abrasives include particles of aluminum hydroxide (Al(OH)3), calcium carbonate (CaCO3), various calcuim hydrogen phosphates, various silicas and zeolites, and hydroxyapatite (Ca5(PO4)3OH). Flouride in various forms is the most popular active ingredient in toothpaste to prevent cavities. Fluoride has beneficial effects on the formation of dental enamel and bones. Sodium flouride (NaF) is the most common source of fluoride but stannous flouride (SnF2), olaflur (an organic salt of fluoride), and sorium monofluorophosphate (Na2PO3F) are also used.
