digesting toothpaste can make you sick, well it takes a lot, but if you need to freshin your breath and toothpaste is all you have just rub on your teeth and tongue and rinse it out. but breath mints or a small travel size bottle of mouth wash are enexpensive =D

No, it's not safe but accidental ingestion won't hurt, I wouldn't recommend you used it as mint though, to be on the safe side get yourself some mints.

Not really. Toothpaste has fluoride in it, and you dont want to swallow much, if any, of that. And if you ate too much, it could make you very sick. So, it'd be a good idea for you to just buy some gum or mints.

well if you do this you'll be getting a pretty high doseage of sodium. Just go the pharmacy and get some mints...I'm pretty sure people can smell the difference between mints and toothpaste.

depends on what kind of toothpaste you use some have higher concentrations of fluoride and the whiteners are also bad if you cant afford mints well then make sure you read the ingredients and warning label

Not really, most toothpaste these days contains both fluoride and peroxide, both of which are not too good for you, especially your bones.
They can also damage your nerves and brain over a period of time.
In small amounts they can be safe, but ingesting it over a period of time can cause levels to build up and do your harm.

I don't know but I used to eat tooth paste when I was a kid!
To me it was like a chocolate tube :D

NO!! Toothpaste is considered a poison...it's posted on the label.
Never use it as a mouthwash, or injest it as abreath mint. If you swallow any, call poison control immediately.

There's "safe" and there's "safe." Keep in mind that fluoride is used in rat poison. On the other hand, accidental ingestion isn't going to hurt you.

There's a reason the tube says "if ingested, call poison control immediately" Don't swallow it! Floride in large amounts is really bad for you!
