Oral fibromas are benign, slow-growing tumors that can develop in the mouth. They are composed of fibrous connective tissue and are often located on the gums or inner cheeks.

Bruxism is the involuntary clenching, grinding and gnashing of the teeth, with around half of the population doing this at some stage, usually as a stress response. Some people are regular and forceful tooth grinders and cause a lot of damage to their teeth, resulting in pain in the jaw. Often teeth grinding happens during sleep, but some people grind and clench their teeth while awake.

Toothpaste is a paste or gel used with a toothbrush to clean and maintain the health and aesthetics of teeth. It is generally a little abrasive to remove plaque and food from the teeth, suppresses halitosis and delivers active ingredients, ideally fluoride to help prevent tooth decay and gum disease. Due to differences in composition and fluoride content, not all toothpastes are equally effective in maintaining dental health.
