Using toothpaste during the daytime in is permissible, as long as nothing reaches the throat intentionally. If something reaches it unintentionally, the fast is not invalidated. However, swallowing it intentionally invalidates the fast, unless it was done out of ignorance; in which case, the fast is not invalidated, and no expiation is required. Therefore, there is no need for a make-up fast (qada') or expiation () for past days in which you swallowed toothpaste out of ignorance. However, in the future, you must be careful not to swallow it, and it is better to postpone its use until after breaking the fast.
