Is it bad to swallow the toothpaste after brushing?
If you brush teeth in bed, then once finished swallow the leftover toothpaste before falling asleep, is this bad over a long period of time?
I'm specifically asking about the health effects to the teeth of not rinsing, but also any other negative health effects to the body.
The toothpaste in question is Sensodyne.

Yes, and yes. Sensodyne contains fluoride (which is a neurotoxin; such as lead, cadmium, and arsenic). Therefore, I would say yes, it is bad to swallow this toothpaste, leave any reside on your teeth, or even to use it at all.
Concerning other health effects; I consider that ingesting only food is a critical step toward optimum health. If the toothpaste were composed of things resembling food, such as hydrogen peroxide and baking soda, then toxicity would be of nil concern. You could also use plain hydrogen peroxide and omit the baking soda. I use only straight 3% hydrogen peroxide. It seemed rather strong the first many times I brushed with it, leaving many small and mostly painless white spots on my tongue and gums, but now it seems largely comparable to plain water.
