How do some toothpastes always come out with perfect stripes? Do the different color stripes mean anything?

Do colors blue and red stripes provide a different chemical or purpose in cleaning your teeth than the white toothpaste or are the stripes aesthetic only? Toothpastes I'm asking about are like Aquafresh, Colgate, Crest, and Mentadent.

Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

The tube or container has dividers inside. Cut one open and check it out.

The gels are supposedly better for breath freshening and the white pastes have more abrasives for cleaning plaque. This is supposed to give you the benefits of both a gel and paste in one product.

Asked my dentist about it once. She said to floss, rinse with Listerine for one minute, brush with a fluoride toothpaste, and follow up with Gel Kam (a fluoride gel). Stripes or no stripes, brushing alone is not enough to prevent cavities.
