Is it dangerous to swallow a bit of your dentist's fluoride rinse?

No problem : If you swallowed a small amount of Fluoride rinse will not cause any problems. A large amount can cause an upset stomach.

No: Swallow a little bit of Fluoride in the dentists office is not a problem. Minor upset stomach if anything at all.
