Flouride for cavities. And, it is not the flavors that give the cavities, it is the sweeteners. I could go for cinnamon, myself. At the Gilroy, CA garlic festival, garlic toothpaste is offered. Don't know about cavities, but it keeps vampires away. Also members of the opposite sex.

It's fluoride. Some of the toothpaste added calcium.
