So I was brushing my teeth and I swallowed toothpaste on accident.
Everyone always says "Oh dotn swallow tooth paste!" and the warning label says to seek medical help.
I mean, how harmful can toothpaste be?
Lol I don't know it never really bothered me but can swallowing toothpaste seriously damage you that much?

You'll live
Try not to do it too much
Excess fluoride can damage teeth

I have never experienced a problem with just swallowing it a little. However, I would be heeding what they put on the warning label. The warnings are there for a reason and that would be for your protection.

Only if it is fluoride. When I was a kid I liked swallowing a little toothpaste every now and then but way back then it didn't contain flouride---fortunately.

I would not worry about it you would have to swallow a lot to do any real harm.

Everyone is right. No need to worry if you swallowed a little toothpaste. Now, if you swallowed a whole tube... that might be a different story!
