Ingredients!: Read the label: every toothpaste is different. You can find more detailed information on manufacturers' www or by researching the ingredients themselves :).

Toothpaste: Abrasives, dental polishers, constitute at least 50% of a typical toothpaste, Fluoride in various forms is the most popular active ingredient in toothpaste to prevent cavities, a foaming agent, which enables uniform distribution of toothpaste, 20-45% water, flavorings, some have glycerol, sorbitol, or xylitol to prevent drying, some have enamel remineralizers and some have desensitizers.

Ingredients: Both active and inactive ingredients are listed on the package. If you are not sure what the listed ingredients do, Google the ingredient. Look for a toothpaste with fluoride. Look for a toothpaste with the American Dental Seal.
