Hello and thank you very much for your question. I must say that this is not an a common occurrence eating toothpaste. It should be, however, not a problem at all to your dog. The ingredients of this specific toothpaste should not be toxic to your dog. Nevertheless, if he shows any kind of symptoms like not eating, not playful, lethargic, etc., then you should take him to a veterinary clinic as soon as you can. So as long as he is acting and playing normally, I do not think this is a cause for concern at this point. Thanks a lot for your question. Have a great day.
