Why is it so bad for you?
Answer:the fluoride in toothpaste in large doses can make you sick. also too much fluoride can gray toddlers teeth, that is why toddler toothpaste is usually fluoride free.
It's not poison - can't see any harm in it.
It's because of the flouride. But you'll be fine if you swallow it.
Too much of anything can make you sick.
And toothpaste is a fancy concoction of chemicals.
Ever accidentally swallowed Listerine? I have, it made me very nauseous.
Umm its nor bad unless you sit there and eat the whole thing.Its just got bad chemicals in it and fi theres 2 much of them in your body you cant fight them off.
Well toothpaste isn't made to eat, BUT If you swallow some while brushing your teeth nothing happens except it goes into your stomach.
If you are an adult it is not bad, but if you are a child and your adult teeth have not yet been developed, then this can cause what is known as fluorosis----it is the brown or white stains on teeth and can be mild or severe!!
***If you are talking about a child then make sure you CALL POISON CONTROL.***

Read the back of your toothpaste container.
