In terms of toothpaste ingredients, chlorhexidine is effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, but has the most effect against Gram-positive bacteria. Most toothpastes and mouthwashes contain abrasives, which are substances used for abrading, grinding, or polishing. They remove substances adhering to the surface of the teeth without scratching it and bring out their natural luster. Additionally, most toothpastes and mouthwashes contain color substances which give them an attractive appearance.
