Toothpaste Expiry Date?
It means that the active ingredients in your toothpaste are probably not good anymore. You can probably safety use it te toothpaste, but it will not be as effective as one that is within the expiration dates.
Reply:As long as you don%26#039;t buy your toothpaste from China where they make it poisonous, you are fine. The expiry dates are set earlier than expected for the ingredients to stop being effective. See if your teeth are getting clean enough. IN reality it is the brushign that is effective, not the actual paste.
