No: Toothpaste should only be used in the mouth and not on your face. The toothpaste can irritate and cause skin problems.

Have heard this: I have heard this remedy before. It actually was probably used more in the old days when most toothpastes were all the same ingredients and makeup. Now, with all the different varieties of toothpastes and additives and claims, i would be very leery of what you place on face.
