Do you think toothpaste can be used for brushing and whitening teeth only? It is capable of much more! Read on for 10 unconventional, though surprisingly effective ways for using a toothpaste.
Toothpaste contains fluorides, tensides and enzymes. Fluorides protect teeth from caries, tensides purify and enzymes kill bacteria. What else are they helping with?
