What ingredients in toothpaste can kill you?
Toxins in Toothpaste
Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES)- (in many personal care products and many shampoos) Both SLS and SLES are potential carcinogens and may form dioxane when interacting with other chemicals. Clinical studies show both of these chemicals causing hair loss. Fluoride : One of the most common ways fluoride is made is by filtering airborne industrial waste given off by fertilizer producers. Saccharin : An artificial sweetener used in toothpaste, mouthwash and lipstick. Lab rats developed bladder cancer after being given this substance in high doses. The FDA still lists it as a possible carcinogen. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) : SLS is used as a detergent and helps make the toothpaste foam. It is a known skin irritant and some people are very allergic to this chemical. SLS is believed to cause or aggravate canker sores in those prone to such irritations. Well-known as a skin and scalp irritant, easily absorbed in eyes, brain, and liver … may have harmful long term effects, possible carcinogen, could retard healing … causes cataracts in adults and keeps children's eyes from developing properly.
Yes..If a tooth paste contains loads of abrasives it can go bad...I mean it can abrade the tooth surface. Also some components of tooth paste can be allergic to susceptible persons.....
When does Sensodyne start working?

In which pH does toothpaste go to?
It would be obvious that a toothpaste with its soapy texture, it is a basic or alkaline substance.0-7 is regarded acidic, whilst 7-14 is basic, or alkaline. 7 is ofcourse neutral pH. Bases have a soapy feel, such as toothpaste, and acids have a sour, sharp, bitter taste, such as lemon juice (citric acid). So with that understanding i would say basic. Yet that's what i think, i only do chemistry.)
Does Colgate toothpaste contain carrageenan?
yes colgate uses the carrageenan in allmost all tooth paste as a thikning agent
Can Crest Sensitivity toothpaste cause the same problem as sensodyne?
Crest tooth paste does in fact have information stating that the product has not been completely tested which in some cases is causing negative effects on clients using this product. From my personal experience and knowledge in the dental profession i recommend you use sensodyne, it works great and is CDA (Canadian Dental Association) or ADA (American Dental Association) approved (meaning it the product has gone through scientific testing to make sure the product works to great benefit and is safe to use.
Hope this answers your question :)
Do not try that trick! You will ruin your teeth and your gums! If you want to have your teeth whiter, start by having a dental cleaning to remove all the spots. Then, if your teeth are not white enough, you can do a tooth whitening, either at the dentist, or you can also use some products sold at the pharmacy. Another thing you could do is brush your teeth every day and night.
Why toothpaste protect cavities?
No. Cavities are places where a hole has formed in the protective coating of the tooth. That coating, called enamel, is make of a mineral called apetite, or fluoroapetite if you grew up in a community that fluoridated their water. Once it's gone, it's gone, as the cells that produced the enamel do not make more.

This question is like asking, how do you eat off a fork? Or maybe, how do I put my pants on? If you don't know the answer to this, you do not deserve to brush your teeth.

Does toothpaste contain alcohol?

Does whitening toothpaste have baking soda in it?
Baking soda is found in most toothpastes, but the harmful chemical in them that you need to watch out for is fluoride. This can hurt the enamel that protects your teeth from the food you eat and the bacteria in your mouth. I recommend that you should either get a toothpaste with no fluoride in it, or just use baking soda mixed with a little salt.
Will Colgate toothpaste make pimples go away?
No, using Colgate on acne spots will not necessarily improve your skin. Toothpaste will have a drying effect though, and could cause further irritation, peeling, and redness. To more effectively treat acne, use a formula specifically for skin, such as benzoyl peroxide.
How does toothpaste help to prevent itching in mosquito bites?
The toothpase, if flouridated, helps support the foundations that support those who secure the potability of water in areas where the malaria pathogen is kept copasthetic; when that enesthetic balance is maintained in an appropriately adequate way, the reaction of the skin in the flouridated area to a mosquito bite is dulled by the quality of the breathing air. Thus, the mechanism is similar to that of the medieval weapon salve.
What elements are in crest toothpaste?
It depends on the type of kids toothpaste. There's a bunch of different kinds, but the only active ingredient is sodium fluoride in most of them.
