Best Answer

Fluoride is extremely toxic. Babies will swallow the toothpaste, where adults spit it out and aren't poisoned. One tube of regular fluoride toothpaste can kill two small children. Do not purchase fluoride toothpaste for children ~ especially babies!

Answer:

A tube of toothpaste will not kill two small children. It has never happened, and it never will. All research indicates that the amount of fluoride in toothpaste is known to reduce the incidence of tooth decay in children, that's all.

Like all household chemicals (soaps, detergents, furniture polish, etc.) use of toothpaste by small children should involve adult supervision. Read the label.
