Question: Why should we not do this!?
why should we not swallow toothpasteWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
First, it's not meant to be eaten - contains chemicals such as Sodium Lauryl Sulphate - detergent in a way!. It would be like eating soap!.
Secondly - there is fluoride that in excess doses will cause fluorosis (molting teeth) in children (their teeth are still developing)!. Thats also why the toothpaste for children under the age of 6yrs is specified to be for kids!. (It contains less fluoride so even if it gets swallowed by accident by the child, the fluoride levels will not reach the amount to damage the developing permanent teeth still burried in the gums)Www@Answer-Health@Com

for the same reason you shouldnt swallow coins, cars, matches, pens, pencils, paper, etc!. Because is not food!.

If you are asking about accidentaly swallowed tothpaste, it shouldnt do anything (unless high ammounts) since most of the ingredients precent in toothpaste are in very low concentration to cause any problem!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
