When I brushed my teeth as a kid, I used to swallow the toothpaste. My mom found out and she got all over my case, saying it would make me sick, etc. etc. I reasoned that if it was safe to use in the mouth, it was safe to ingest. Besides, I thought it tasted good!
Nowadays, I just spit it out. I don’t know when exactly the transition happened. Ah well. Betcha you weren’t expecting this from the thread title, hmm? Nothing like bored insomnia to keep you going on a Saturday night.
depends, I spit them out most of the time (i’m a good spitter too ) because i don’t think my stomach can handle that much fluoride twice a day
but if i brush my teeth in car then i’ll swallow, dun wanna spit on my brand new mat and neons.
depends too, if i wash with regular ‘fluoride’ toothpaste i spit, but when i use this one i don’t, is said to be very healthy.
once one friend diluted a little in a glass of water and drank it, calming his stomach pain.
wow, saturday night.. insomnia.. bored.. ? you could call Paradise and bust on her a little, maybe even ask her this question from the thread title, then do a doubletake and specify the toothpaste word , all in playful tone. should be fun for you, and a little confusing for her . evil lol.
now seriously..
Ofcourse spit. After you brush, you have food residue. The food residue may have started to rot and contains bacteria in your mouth.
I heard it can cause temporary fever. Don’t know how true is that but I heard students tend to eat toothpaste to get temporary fever to get medical cert to skip school
I was always under the impression that you should spit it out because you can ingest too much fluoride and get poisoned. I’ve even heard this from dentists.
That’s right… too much flouride can poison you. Dental flourosis (mottled teeth), weakened bones resembling osteoporosis, the whole works. In fact dental flourosis isn’t rare now days in the US. You should also use a very small amount of toothpaste. Pea sized. And little kids that use flouride toothpaste should definitely be supervised/instructed.
Well, see… I kind of… well, fell asleep at around 5 PM yesterday after doing some yard work, and I woke up at 10 PMish. So it wasn’t really true insomnia. Because of that, I didn’t really get myself motivated to do anything. As for Paradise… eh, I may call her, but she’s not going to be the center of my plans today. I’ve got things to do, been craving Thai food, and might round off my evening at the casino for a drink or two and maybe a little blackjack.
Didn’t got it.. It was supposed to expect something different from this title?
I swallowed when I was a kid (just like data4 I assumed that it would be eatable, and liked that taste), until the dentist scared me saying that I could get poisoned
Data4 - after giving your misleading title some thought, I think you have been a VERY NAUGHTY NAUGHTY BOY. I am going to give you some lashes from the BEEF JERKY OF DISCIPLINE!
There - take THAT!!!
