What is the tagalog of toothpaste?

The Tagalog word for toothpaste is "ngipin" (pronounced "ngee-peen").

However, this translates literally to "tooth" and doesn't specifically mean "toothpaste".

To be more specific, you could say:

* "Pasta ng ngipin" (pronounced "pah-stah ng ngee-peen") - literally means "toothpaste"

* "Sabon ng ngipin" (pronounced "sah-bon ng ngee-peen") - literally means "tooth soap"

* "Kremang panglinis ng ngipin" (pronounced "kreh-mang pang-lee-nees ng ngee-peen") - literally means "tooth cleaning cream"

These are all common ways to refer to toothpaste in Tagalog.
