Have you read the warning not to swallow more than a pea sized amount of
fluoride toothpaste? It's on every single tube of fluoride toothpaste
since fluoride is highly toxic. If you don't understand the significant
difference between topical application of fluoride toothpaste to teeth
followed by a rinse, vs. drinking the toxic fluoride (and it's reaction
by-products) daily then you need to go back to grade school level
science classes.
