    There is about 0.15 to 0.2 grams of fluoride in a full tube of toothpaste. The LD50 in rats is about 60 mg/kg which is probably reasonably close to that of humans. i.e within an order of magnitude. Lets say the average person weighs 80 kg. That LD50 is about 4.8 grams for a single dose or about 20 to 30 full tubes of toothpaste. So while downing a full tube of toothpaste in one sitting will absolutely make you sick, it wont kill you. And thats hundreds of times the reccommended amount of toothpaste. That said I would not advise doing it for obvious reasons.
