There isn't sand in toothpaste, the grit that you think is sand are actually diatoms that are put into the toothpaste to help clean your teeth. They have a tough silicon structure which helps them scrap off other microorganisms. Diatoms have a lot of uses in industry as well.

Is there sand in toothpaste?

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.
