But you don't even swallow toothpaste, so why would it be a problem even if it did have calories?

Wow. That's excessive. If you can't change her mind, tell her to use baking soda. Although, you really should talk to her because being that obsessive seems unhealthy.

Ask her if she'd rather have no teeth, or gain a little weight.

I hope she doesn't swallow toothpaste in the first place. I hear it's bad for you. And being pudgy versus rotting teeth... Take your choice.

I think it's clear that having teeth is more important than calories. You can lose those. But wow... You don't even swallow toothpaste

In all fairness, you can lose teeth as well.

Even if that were true or made sense, your daughter still has her priorities screwed. I'm pretty sure I'd rather be a little on the 'curvy' side and have nice teeth and breath than be skinny, smell like an alley and have gum disease.
