It won't help.: Thoth paste usually has a whitener in it, this is not a good thing to put in or around the eyes.

Not recommended: If the toothpaste should get into the eyes, it could cause irritation and a chemical conjunctivitis. Better to see your doctor and do some warm compresses.

NO: Be very careful what you use toothpaste for. Use products for its intended use. Would you ever brush your teeth with vagisil?
