Question:

Is it okaay,, ?

to eat toothpaste ?


Answers:

No, not a good idea. The fluoride found in the toothpaste ingested in large concentrations can cause vomiting and stomach distress. Also, if your adult teeth are still forming below the gums (haven't erupted into your mouth and you still have baby teeth) they are at risk of having too much fluoride. Too much fluoride can cause permanent white spots that most people don't like and the only way to get rid of them is to cover them with a white filling or crown. Both of these options cost money and take time. Hope that is a clear answer!
