Don't believe everything you hear. What you heard about tooth paste is not the thurth. Toothpaste is for cleaning teeth not stunting growth. I Mean i dont think they would make it..right!

No, but then maybe that's why our teeth aren't as long as shark's teeth? Oh, okay, just kidding. Good nutrition is the key to getting the best growth out of what ever our genes are programmed to do, so just learn about good eating and exercise and you will be the best you can be. And laugh a lot -it's as important as good nutrition.

young lady,
When I was young they told me that drinking coffee would stunt my growth. To this day, I don't drink coffee, but my brother is still several inches taller than me.
I don't think eating some toothpaste (small amounts) will stunt your growth. Someone is having fun making you worry.

Tooth paste will not stunt your growth. However read the label on your toothe paste. It can be toxic and is not supposed to be swallowed. You can make yourself sick by ingesting it.
