What does toothpaste on a wound do?

It is not recommended to apply toothpaste to the wound, because the main component of toothpaste is a rubbing agent, which does not have any anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effect, just because there is mint can temporarily relieve the pain of the wound, and the toothpaste applied to the wound, and may lead to infection of the wound, although Yunnan Baiyao or some claim to stop bleeding class of toothpaste, does have a hemostatic effect on the gums. The actual fact is that it is not suitable to be applied to the wound as a medication, so it is only used to brush the teeth and clean the oral environment. If there is a wound later, or symptomatic application of erythromycin ointment or Bactrim, can play a very good role in sterilization and promote healing, patients should not mistakenly apply toothpaste, resulting in wound infection.
