I've heard of anti-bacterial soaps... but is there also for toothpaste???
Answers:
If you look on the Internet, you'll find lots of them. Apparently, Colgate Total was the first antibacterial toothpaste (source: http://www.consumersearch.com/www/family... I'd be wary of using antibacterial toothpastes, as the indiscriminate use of antibacterial agents just helps the bacteria to develop resistance to them. In the larger scheme of things, this is a big issue, as we're not exactly developing huge numbers of new antibacterial agents each year. There really isn't any reason why there should be toothpaste or soap containing antibacterial agetns other than marketing.
