Try not to swallow: Be sure to check with an ENT and your dentist if you have throat pain. There are so many possibilites from simple strep infection to systemic problems. Toothpaste Fluoride is not meant to be swallowed.

No : Swallowing tooth paste should not cause throat pain. There probably another issue occurring. See a md for a proper evaluation.
