Swallowing gel: A little is ok! drink plenty of water to dilute the chemical and call your md if you have any immediate stomach problems.

Yeah, but..: Don't make a habit of it. Not toxic in small amounts.

Not a problem: The active ingredient in white strips breaks down to hydrogen peroxide which then breaks down to water. The process releases oxygen free radicals which will irritate your oral tissues and stomach. The quantities that are present in white strips aren't a real issue unless you eat the white strips.

OK: Ingredients are non-toxic. Be careful to follow package directions to the letter.
