牙膏的化学（Chemistry of toothpaste） The chemistry of toothpaste Before the advent of toothpaste, people use dentifrice brushing. Powder is a mixture of calcium carbonate and soap powder, its function is to keep the teeth clean, but stains. Dentifrice pH value is high, can cause oral tissue inflammation. After World War II, therapeutic toothpaste to have listed. Especially in the synthetic detergent sodium n-lauroylsarcosinate instead of soap toothpaste favored by the public. This cleaning agent can not only reduce the inflammation of the mouth, the toothpaste smell, suppression caused by plaque decay more acid. Fluoride prevention of dental caries At the beginning of 50s, some epidemiological studies suggest that fluoride can prevent dental caries. So, in 1955 there have been adding stannous fluoride toothpaste (SnF2). Later, a fluorine sodium phosphate (MFP) instead of stannous fluoride, to become the worlds most extensive research on fluoride. Now being added fluoride toothpaste to prevent dental caries and fluoride and sodium fluoride amine (amine fluorides). Experts generally believe that, when fluoride ion concentration equal to the fluoride, all of these are the same role in prevention of dental caries. Dental caries is due to occur in enamel and dentin may also be locally occurred in the bottom of the enamel demineralization caused by. Mineralization of organic acid is to penetrate the enamel surface so that the teeth of minerals - hydroxyl apatite dissolution (base). These acids are formed by oral bacteria in glucose metabolism or release process of glycolysis in carbohydrate metabolism. Because the bacteria form a layer of film adhered on the surface of the teeth plaque (or plaque), bacteria to produce acid can long time with the tooth surface in close contact, therefore, hydroxyapatite is dissolved, generating hydrogen phosphate and calcium ions diffuse into the teeth, washed away by saliva. However, even to the mineralization of dental plaque acid on the surfa
