I've seen photos of children sucking on the tube of toothpaste.
my mom never allowed us to do that when I grew up.
most of the name brand toothpastes are no good.
people are starting to realize a lot of things and are making corrections in their lives.
they are looking at labels and paying attention to ingredients.
-
You would think that eating toothpaste would upset a kid's stomach.
-
I wouldn't suggest eating toothpaste. Some of the kid's toothpaste's have different flavor's, still not a good idea!
-
Seriously, it says right on the label, no to ingest the toothpaste. Most of them have ingredients that will upset your stomach and the whiteners have hydrogen peroxide and baking soda which - ick - make a chemical reaction that will remove rust from your bumper. But, my little sister used to eat crisco straight so who knows why kids do what they do.
-
Oh my gosh - this is the first I've heard of this - why on earth would anyone let their kids eat toothpaste. That is just plain crazy in my opinion. Buy your kid some fruit lol.
-
I never hear it before, unless they are suffer from hunger. :sweat:
-
i have never heard of this but i can see where this be harmful to anyone
-
That's nasty. I'm glad I never saw photos of that.
-
My mom never let me do that lol as a kid
-
why would you let someone do that?? even if i was dying of hunger i wouldn't do that
-
I haven't seen anything like that, but that is a little disturbing. Why would you let your kids eat it?
-
Parents should supervise kids and not allow them to eat toothpaste. It is one thing to swallow a little from a pea sized amount while brushing, but sucking it from a tube? That is idiotic and on the parents to make sure their kids are safely using it. These are likely the same people who then sue companies because it made their kid sick.
-
That's gross, lol.
-
It is definitely NOT good to eat toothpaste - most are full of chemicals and fluoride!
-
My niece and nephew liked that cause of the flavor of the kiddie toothpaste
-
Yeah, it is pretty obvious that consuming toothpaste is not a wise idea.
-
Wow, that's something I haven't heard of. I really do not think that's a good idea for children or anyone for that matter to consume toothpaste.
-
I'm not suggest anyone to eat them especially kid's. But if you accidentally swallow it I think it would be fine.
-
Thats crazy. Sounds like it would make you very sick to your stomach.
-
hey, if you give a child toothpaste that's candy flavored and scented why become surprised if that child starts guzzling down a few toothpaste here and there.
-
So you seen some pictures of kids sucking on toothpaste, what is the discussion? The toothpaste, your childhood, what? PLEASE make some kind of sense when posting! GEEZ! 8)
-
I get an all natural toothpaste for kids, just because I worry about what they will swallow just brushing their teeth.....I cannot imagine letting them eat it right out of the tube on purpose.
-
Yeah, eating toothpaste is not a good idea. Some of my friends are nurses and they say that swallowing a large amount of regular toothpaste may cause stomach pain and possibly lead to intestinal obstruction.

Don't eat the toothpaste!!
-
I really think your stomach can have some serious damage done to it for putting toothpaste in it contiguously especially for children.
-
toothpaste does not have any nutritional value. People should not consume this product because of the level of mercury found in it. When I use it to brush my teeth, I use a small portion of it.
-
Eating toothpaste is NOT a good idea. I know all parents would like for their kids to look forward to brushing their teeth, but letting them eat the toothpaste is not the way to accomplish this. You probably couldn't get too much fluoride that way, but who wants to take the risk!
-
It's completely fine to eat a little toothpaste. Eat too much and you might get sick to your stomach, but it's not going to cause serious damage as some of you have falsely claimed.
-
I've accidently swallowed some a couple times when distracted its the most vile bleh feeling ever
-
I'm pretty sure if you eat toothpaste, nothing will happen except the funny taste.
-
Some flavors are so delicious...kids think it is ice cream. Maybe changing the toothpaste flavors and packaging, so adults only can open them will be safer for kids.
-
Eating toothpaste may be fun for kids, but certainly not healthy!
-
I don't know why you would eat toothpaste. That's just weird and disgusting.
-
I don't eat toothpaste I brush my teeth with it
-
I use toothpaste to brush my teeth-that is all. I have never eaten it.
-
Never heard of that...not sure what's so enticing about toothpaste...lol....can't be good for you to do that either....i have swallowed a little toothpaste before by accident...didn't taste good or do any harm
-
What a horrible thing for a child to do!! Where are the parents?? Don't they know that FLUORIDE KILLS!!!!!!!
-
I didn't even know kids did that especially since toothpaste is sometimes spicy. That is not good.
-
If the toothpast has fluoride in it, it is very dangerous to swallow.
-
It amazes me at the things children do today that I would never have thought of doing when I was a child :sad1:
-
they must get some kind of high from it? Toothpaste always irritates my mouth :(
-
eww me or my kids dont do that :bad:
-
I never seen anyone eat toothpaste, maybe they need to make the flavors not so appealing to children and then they wouldn't eat it, but then they probably wouldn't brush their teeth either.
-
With things like bacon flavored toothpaste & bath bars, etc.--- kids can't tell the difference between real food and bath products... ;D
-
that's odd, I've never seen anything about people sucking on toothpaste lol. especially kids...i always had a hard time getting my son to brush as a kid much less eat the toothpaste lol
-
i heard of that when i was a little kid, but i personally never tried it
