Absorption of drugs is more in human oral cavity. Humans get daily exposure to the additives of dentifrices which contain toxic chemicals. The practice of using commercial dentifrices can cause toxic problems to user, and this issue is unfortunately not in public domain and also ignored by the Government. The best way is to avoid it, is to use natural safe tooth cleaners.
