Answer 1

haha you're cute.

Im pretty sure you wont die and don't have anything to worry about unless you ate the whole tube , which would make me wonder if you're that poor you can't afford food :-P

you're fine hun

Answer 2

Was it the bubble gum flavor?

Just drink plenty of water..don't vomit.

Answer 3

if you only swallowed a little, then you'll be fine.

if you swallowed like the whole tube, then it could be a problem. you should call your doctor.

but think of how many kids have swallowed toothpaste.

i think you'll be fine :)

Answer 4

It is okay I think you have to swallow alot for it to do anything.

Answer 5

Relax hun.... everytime you clean your teeth a certain amount of the toothpaste will find its way to your tummy. I have never seen such a sign on a toothpaste tube, but I imagine it refers to say a baby eating a whole tube. They would not be allowed to sell a toothpaste that was actually that dangerous.

Answer 6

You'll be fine

People who swallow regular (non-fluoride) toothpaste may not need to be seen in the emergency room.

Those who swallow a lot of fluoride toothpaste (more than one tube) may need to go to the emergency room.

Answer 7

Start writing your will and planning your funeral.

Answer 8

Hahaha, don't worry, you're fine.

Answer 9

First of all, how much did you swallow?

And if it wasn't a lot then you're fine

if you ate the whole tube, you may have a problem and i would suggest calling your doctor

Answer 10

You'd have to eat quiet a bit before it became a problem.

But if your that woried call your doctor.

Answer 11

chill.  It isn't ideal to swallow toothpaste but it is non-toxic or they wouldn't allow it to be sold.  Your headache could be psychosomatic - ie you are worrying about getting one so you are getting it.

Or you could just be pulling our legs.

Answer 12

Most people swallow some toothpaste. It is hard not to. As others have said a little will do no harm at all. It is the additives that are the potential problem but you would need to swallow a lot for it to matter.

Answer 13

Hahahahaha-teeeehehehe-hahahah-HAHA-tehe...

kidding right? o.O

Answer 14

only if you swallowed like the whole tube....if you only swallowed what you put on your toothbrush, you are fine. calm down.

Answer 15

Swallowing toothpaste causes Hepatitis C. You're gonna want to get to a doctor before it develops into full-blown AIDS.

Answer 16

think about it.... would they recommend u brush your teeth twice a day with something that could potentially kill u if u swallowed it??

Answer 17

IT DEPNDSHOW MUCH U SWALLOWED DRINK MILK AND LOTS OF WATER I GUESS IT CAN ONLY KILL U IF YOU EAT LIKE A SPOONFUL!!!!!

Answer 18

Calm down! You are not going to die! I used to swallow toothpaste all the time no big deal.

Answer 19

call poison control...

Answer 20

Calm the eff down.  You're not going to die, you can't die from swallowing toothpaste.  You could probably get sick if you ate the whole tube, but I'm hoping you are smart enough not to do that.  Don't throw up because the toothpaste is not going to do anything to you.  You're overreacting.  Go on with normal life, don't think about it.

Answer 21

Calm down. I think they say, if you swallow more than used for brushing you should call the Poison Control Center. So, if you ate a whole bunch, go ahead and call.

If you are still worried, you can call. It's toll free and they probably get ridiculous questions like this all of the time.

Answer 22

Read what it says on the back of the container

Also, I'm guessing that because ppl swallow it accidentally alot it's not poisonous

Answer 23

Yes, you're going to die. Don't even bother calling poison control, just go lay down and wait for the end. RIP.

Answer 24

wtf. chill. it just means to now swallow like a huge portion at a time. i've done it tons of times and obv. i'm not dead.

:]

Answer 25

I would not even worry unless You ate the whole tube,LOL stop being silly forget it.

Answer 26

What kind of toothpaste do you use that is poison . I mean you have to put some in your mouth tobrush your teeth unless you can remove your teeth . If it is poison to swallow some , then you must have to call the poison controlcenter very frequently . I would definitely have this toothpaste analyzed and checked out by a Dr.

Answer 27

I once saw an obese girl on maury and the mom said she ate a whole tube of tooth paste

Call your doctor if your concerned?

Answer 28

If you swallowed a little bit you will be fine. If it was like a little itty bit you are actually fine. If you did swallow a huge massive amount I would suggest you see a doctor or hospital at this moment. I don't know how you would've swallowed a massive amount unless you were pouring it into your mouth and swallowing. You should be fine if you were brushing and a little bit slid down your throat but if you are scared you can check with a poison control center to make you feel relieved.

Answer 29

Your not going to die all toothpaste says that I suggest you take stomach ache pills though because you may either end up being sick and puking or just having bad stomach pain depending on how much you swallowed if it was about medium size just stomach pains lots puking and small hardly anything.  So no you won't die your just going to be a little sick.

Answer 30

You might get an upset stomach or perhaps throw up, but probably nothing considerable if it is a small quantity. Dental product manufacturer's advise you not to swallow fluoride due to the fact that excess fluoride will cause white spots to form on your teeth if your teeth are still forming. This means that children who still have baby teeth run the risk of getting white spots on their adult teeth if they routinely ingest high concentrations of fluoride. The white spots may be tiny or large and can have other causes like trauma or a high fever.

Fluoride (in the right concentration) is a very valuable way to reduce dental decay...

Answer 31

uh huh
