Is toothpaste a compound?

Toothpaste can be a compound or a mixture. Typical “old fashioned” toothpastes have one chemical formula and therefore are

simply compounds

, however, newer toothpastes which have microgranules in them and different varieties of chemicals mixed together are going to fall part of the mixture category.
