Why Is Toothpaste Important?

Why is toothpaste important you ask?

Well, b rushing with toothpaste is important for several reasons:

First-  Toothpaste and a correct brushing technique work to remove plaque, a sticky, harmful film of bacteria that grows on your teeth that causes cavities, gum disease and eventual tooth loss if not controlled.
Second-  Toothpaste contains fluoride, which makes the entire tooth structure more resistant to decay and promotes remineralization, which aids in repairing early decay before the damage can even be seen.
Third-  Special ingredients in toothpaste help to clean and polish the teeth and remove stains over time.
Fourth-  Toothpastes help freshen breath and leave your mouth with a clean feeling.
