Since astronauts couldn't spit out the toothpaste in space NASA made edible toothpaste so they could just swallow the toothpaste.

Yes, edible toothpaste has been used in space missions, as astronauts have specific dietary requirements to maintain oral hygiene while in space.

Most toothpaste is harmful to the body if consumed in large amounts. This is because of the fluorides in it so I don't believe so.
Edible toothpaste was used in space as a convenient way for astronauts to brush their teeth without needing to spit out toothpaste, which could float around in microgravity. It was designed to be swallowed, eliminating the need for rinsing and reducing mess in the spacecraft.
toothpaste is not edible in large quantities, and swallowing it should be avoided. toothpaste contains flouride with can eat the lining of the stomach
