| To assist in the prevention of tooth decay, scientists and dental researchers are looking to dental products like gums and toothpastes enriched with minerals. |
| Tooth-whitening toothpastes can remove some stains and help keep your teeth clean in the short term. |
| Non-fluoride toothpastes do not contain fluoride and only usually contain natural ingredients, such as special mineral salts and plant extracts. |
| Try to avoid toothpastes with baking soda, detergents, or salt sometimes found in human pastes. |
| Even though most toothpastes contain fluoride, toothpaste alone will not fully protect a child's mouth. |
| Dried orris root smells like violets. It is used primarily as a base for natural toothpastes, and as a fixative in perfumes to enhance other aromas. |
