External use: Soap is formulated for external use, toothpaste is formulated for intraoral use. Use your products for their intended function.

Too abrasive: I think your mother would probably have liked you to brush your teeth with soap many times when you were younger. It tastes terrible. Would you polish your shoes with toothpaste? Use the appropriate material in the right place.
