Products containing the ingredients hydrated silica , in particular, should be avoided when gum disease, tooth decay, sensitivity and receding gums are present. While these ingredients can remove tartar and make teeth whiter in appearance, they also may do harm to dental health by altering the acidic balance of the mouth, gums and tongue.
Hydrated silica is made from quartz - basically it is cleaned sand. It is used as an abrasive to "clean" teeth. Unfortunately it also scratches the surface of your teeth.
It prevents the toothpaste from becoming moldy.
Hydrated silica is an inorganic material.
a toothpaste is made up of :- sodium fluoride- water- hydrated silica- sorbitol- glycerin- potassium nitrate- sodium lauryl sulfate- cellulose gum- sodium hydroxide
Hydrated silica, which is primarily used as an abrasive in toothpaste, is made from a crystallized compound found in quartz, sand, and flint. Diatomaceous earth, originally mined as "tooth powder" is a naturally occurring hydrated silica. As a fine gel abrasive, frequently combined with softer calcium carbonate (from chalk) it helps to remove plaque. Milled to a slightly larger size, the grains are more aggressive and are used in tooth bleaching formulations.

yes
Water, hydrated silica, glycerin, sorbitol, PVM/MA copolymer, sodium lauryl sulfate, cellouse gum, and flavor, and some other trace chemicals. And of course Sodium Fluoride and Triclosan for whitening.
Opal ia a hydrated silica mineral.
No. Opal is an amorphous hydrated form of silica.
