Poison control: You should call your local poison control and tell them how much your child weighs and how much your child swallowed. Swallowing large amounts of Fluoride in toothpaste can be dangerous for a small child. If you don't know poison control number the. Call 911.

Get in the phone: Contact poison control. They will offer the best advice. Usually the toothpaste has contact info as well. Flouride toxicity is a concern especially at a young age. Get on the phone. A trip to the er is potential. Watch for symptoms like nausea, vomitting, headaches. Good luck, god bless.
