    I swallowed tooth paste!
    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!
