• 30-45% water
• Chalk (Hartkristallen)
• Paint (persuade), e.g. Titanium dioxide. Wettmachend are water soluble and are removed from saliva – a very short term effect.
• Antifreeze, e.g. Glycol keeps the fresh mass.
• Algae
• Paraffin oil, e.g. in camping lamps, so that nothing lumpy
• Detergent so that it foams in the mouth
• Formaldehyde to kill the bacteria
• Peppermint oil to taste the bitter inedible mass
• Flouride: Recent research from the pharmaceutical company Sepracor indicates that fluoridated toothpaste may cause or contribute to periodontal bone loss. This finding is serious because of periodontal bone loss is the # 1 cause of tooth loss among U.S. adults. According to the scientists at Sepracor who conducted the study:

“We have found that fluoride in the concentration range in which it is employed for the prevention of dental caries, stimulates the production of prostaglandins and Thereby exacerbate the inflammatory response in gingivitis and periodontitis ….

Thus, the inclusion of fluoride in toothpastes and mouthwashes for the purpose of inhibiting the development of caries [cavities] may, at the same time, accelerate the process of chronic, destructive periodontitis. ”

The concentrations of fluoride used in toothpaste are very high (1.00 o-1, 500 ppm). Considering the fact that fluoride is a mutagenic documented, and that many mutagens are also carcinogens (ie they cause cancer), there is some concern that fluoridated toothpaste may cause or contribute to oral cancer.

By the way … Studies indicate, thorough cleaning with water rich in perfect or you just take only salt (no salt).
