If it is so good to swallow them why not swallow after brushing. Why are you so obsessed with swallowing something that does not help.

Plenty of things we ingest are toxic in high doses, but valuable in smaller amounts.

Different concentrations. If water is so good for you, why don’t you drink 10 gallons a day?

So then you admit there is no point in drinking fluoride then? Miniscule amount does not make a difference and the normal topical amount you use while brushing is not safe to swallow.

This isn't rocket science.
