    Chemistry of Toothpaste

    The gritty feeling of toothpastes is the abrasives. They help get rid of plaque, stains, and polishing teeth. Today the most common abrasives are made up of hydrated silica, aluminium oxides, and calcium carbonate. Different phosphates of calcium or aluminium can be also used, but are less common. Detergents, like abrasives, also provide cleaning power. They loosen leftover food and plaque so that the toothbrush can scrub them away. Detergents have cleaning agents called surfactants. Surfactants are in toothpastes to loosen stuck-on food and plaque so your toothbrush can get rid of it better. The most common surfactant is sodium lauryl sulphate. Fluoride fights tooth decay by strengthening the enamel. It does this by a chemical reaction called remineralisation. Fluoride is most frequently in the form of sodium fluoride, sodium monofluorophosphate, or stannous fluoride. Desensitizers help reduce the sensitivity of tooth surfaces below the gum line. TSSP stands for tetrasodium pyrophosphate. It helps remove magnesium and calcium build-up in saliva so they cannot form tartar and plaque on teeth. TSSP is very bitter, so normally there is a sweetener added, sodium saccharin, to reduce the bitterness.…

    Toothpaste is a paste or gel dentifrice used with a toothbrush as an accessory to clean and maintain the aesthetics and health of teeth. Toothpaste is used to promote oral hygiene: it serves as an abrasive that aids in removing the dental plaque and food from the teeth, assists in suppressing halitosis, and delivers active ingredients (mainly fluoride) to help prevent tooth and gum disease (gingivitis).[1] Most of the cleaning is achieved by the mechanical action of the toothbrush, and not by the toothpaste. Salt and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) are among materials that can be substituted for commercial toothpaste. Toothpaste is not intended to be swallowed, but is generally not very harmful if accidentally swallowed in small amounts.…

    Colgate Max Fresh (CMF) was first launched in the US market in August 2004, offering a competitively unique offering of dissolvable breath strips in toothpaste designed for maximum freshness. CMF contributed to Colgate’s record value share of 34.8% that year in the US Market, successfully upselling many existing Colgate consumers in addition with having strong repeat purchase and consumer trial.

Having high advertising spend, offline consumer plans, attractive packaging and a flavour variety (pg. 5) are necessary as a Point of Differentiation in a developed market like US. This is perhaps more so for CMF’s target consumers in the US, who have evolved towards a focus on cosmetic benefits and…
