Mechanical debridement. Ie physically breaks up shit stuck on your teeth.
That would be the brush... if the toothpaste had an abrasive component, which isn't as common in US toothpastes, then in conjunction with the brush yes.
Are you sure it’s not “abrasive”? Is baking soda abrasive? I believe baking soda is doing that. But to your point , I always just thought toothpaste was a finer abrasive than baking soda, you know, so you only disrupt the biofilm and not damage the tooth structure. I could be wrong on my assumption.
Yes, the baking soda toothpastes would be an abrasive. Most toothpastes do not have abrasive. In some countries they have tooth powder which is just abrasive and maybe some dried herbal components.
So why does the toothpaste feel kinda gritty then? It’s not completely smooth. Unless we’re talking about gel toothpaste. But the “creamy” ones I use feel gritty to me.
