Toothpaste, also called dentifrice, is essential to proper oral hygiene and is used for many reasons: to protect and build the enamel against acidic and sugary foods; to clean out all leftover food debris; and to prevent tooth decay and cavities. Part of the apparent growth toward improved personal hygiene can be attributed to biotechnological advances that expand on the function and benefits of traditional toothpaste. Patients can now purchase toothpaste customized to their particular needs or preferences, such as enamel protection, whitening, relieving dry mouth and treatment of sensitivity.
