Your mouth is highly absorbent, which is why so many supplements (and medications) are taken sublingualy, or under your tongue. This can give the chemicals hiding in your toothpaste a fast-track into your bloodstream.

You might not think much about the ingredients in your toothpaste compared to the ingredients in your food or even other personal care products, but those pea-sized dollops on your toothbrush twice a day add up. An average American can use 20 gallons of toothpaste over the course of their lifetime. Although you spit most of it out, some of the chemicals it contains make their way into your bloodstream.
Here are some of the harmful ingredients to look out for, and why:
This chemical has been linked to concerns over antibiotic resistance and endocrine disruption. Endocrine-disrupting chemicals can promote a wide variety of health problems, including breast, ovarian, prostate, and testicular cancer, preterm and low birth weight babies, precocious puberty in girls, and undescended testicles in boys. The chemical has also been linked to cancer.  Here’s a detailed guide:
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS)
These are chemicals responsible for the foaming action of the toothpaste, but they also interfere with the functioning of your taste buds by breaking up the phospholipids on your tongue.This enhances bitter tastes and is thought to be the reason why everything tastes so bad right after you’ve brushed your teeth.
Not to mention, SLS has even been linked to skin irritation and painful canker sores, with research suggesting an SLS-free toothpaste should be used for people with recurring sores. SLS is also registered as an insecticide and may have toxic effects to marine life, including fish, insects, and crustaceans.
Artificial Sweeteners
Aspartame and other artificial sweeteners are often added to commercial toothpastes.Symptoms from Aspartame poisoning are many, and include headaches, ear buzzing, dizziness, nausea, gastrointestinal disturbances, weakness, vertigo, chills, memory lapses, numbness, and shooting pains in the extremities, behavioral disturbances, and neuritis.
