Which of these ingredients is commonly found in toothpaste?

My first impulse was to exclaim, "WHAT!! Are you !!#@#!!-'g kidding me!!", but upon reflection, I'm not surprised. There's no telling what sort of "chemical cocktails" I've been unknowingly consuming all these years. It goes to show companies are relying on the fact that most folks really DON'T read the label. True in my case, anyway.

I have used baking soda to brush my teeth since the early 1980s. won't touch toothpaste.

if all 3 are correct youre not wrong

Everything is deadly if we eat enough of it...

When people are worried about the chemicals in toothpaste, just remember everything is a chemical, literally everything... You’re not meant to ingest toothpaste directly, as long as the levels of those chemicals are low enough, you’ll be fine.

Drat! I picked fluoride before seeing “all three are correct.”

ChampionNymph37634, This cocktail of chemicals is frightening to be ever exposed to. I grew up in my early years using the pieces of Vine for toothbrushes along with baking soda. To be poor sometimes have its luck. Exposer as adult. ! ! !

Mountain Crone, My Mother made up salt and soda.

Think of all the chemicals we slap on our faces!

Player One, Gotta watch those precious bodily fluids!

riel, Triclosan is an antibiotic sometimes used in hand soap also. For centuries soap did not have it. Then someone thought it would be good to kill the bacteria that washing didn't remove. But it backfired. Now we lower natural resistance, and we have stronger bacteria. Triclosan can kill good gut bacteria, so now people might have digestive issues and need probiotics to recover.

I've always wondered why toothpaste tasted minty?

In colgate we have salt..

OMG! My country's water supply has fluoride, introduced to prevent tooth decay.... I wonder what other reasons the authorities have for introducing such chemicals into the water we drink.

This varies by country. Triclosan is not a common ingredient everywhere.

tomror, not according to the information given with this question.

Player #1284040, pretty sure it is baking soda.
