Is it bad to keep toothpaste in your mouth for a long time?!


Question: I usually wander around my house when i brush my teeth I hate standing at the sink. But I dont spit out the toothpaste for like five minutes. Is this bad because theres loads of chemicals in it?

Not if you switch to a different brand of toothpaste. Toms of Maine makes a natural toothpaste that is much safer to keep in your mouth for longer periods of time than as opposed to the other chemical filled pastes. They sell it at most regular supermarkets and drugstores right in the toothpaste isle.

No, they actually advise brushing for upto 5 mins, just dont swallow it. Not in this case anyway.
