Noticing his bulging jacket, a store worker grabbed the man when he refused to stop and the tubes of toothpaste spilled all over the floor, police said.

Obama was in Germany Friday, maybe he just wanted to look his best, with a bright smile. I wonder if he had a pgk of dental floss and a toothbruth in one of the bugles?

I hope he grabbed a toothbrush, too!

(come on... what's the point of having 68 tubes of toothpaste, if you don't have a toothbrush)?

I hope it was not tainted toothpaste from China that was sold a few years ago.

Maybe he was a smoker and they were really, really yellow and he was trying to get them really, really white. Or he was a dentist and was going to charge his patients per tube on the bill.

What to Expect at the Emergency Room Return to top

People who swallow regular (nonfluoride) toothpaste may not need to be seen in the emergency room.

Those who swallow a lot of fluoride toothpaste (more than one tube) may need to go to the emergency room.

At the emergency room, the health care provider will measure and monitor the patient's vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure. The patient may receive:

Calcium -- medicine (antidote) to reverse the effect of the poison
Endoscopy -- camera down the throat to see burns to the esophagus and the stomach
Fluids by IV
Medicines to treat symptoms
Tube through the mouth into the stomach to wash out the stomach (gastric lavage)
Outlook (Prognosis) Return to top

Patients who swallow a very large amount of fluoride toothpaste and survive 48 hours usually recover. See also: Fluoride overdose

Most nonfluoride (regular) toothpastes are relatively nontoxic (nonpoisonous). Recovery is very likely.
