A member asked:
I am unable to rinse all the toothpaste out of my mouth because they stick to my tongue. is it ok for me to swallow some toothpaste every day?

Absolutely: Think about it, have you ever heard of someone with a case of toothpaste poisoning? If toothpaste was toxic FDA would not approve it for oral use. It would take about a bathtub full every single day to even begin to cause noticeable symptoms.
