Dentifrice is the toothpaste, powder, liquid or gel that is used with a toothbrush to clean teeth. It contains a mild abrasive, detergent, flavoring agent, humectant (retains water) and various medicaments designed to prevent tooth decay. Only a pea sized amount of dentrifice is recommended to be placed on the toothbrush. The actual mechanical action of brushing is more important than the tooth paste used. However a toothpaste containing fluoride helps to significantly reduce tooth decay.
