Using toothpaste while fasting is not forbidden, its just disliked (makruh). This is because it leaves a taste of mint in your mouth, and mint is a plant. It is then normal to swallow saliva from your mouth, which allows the mint taste to enter your stomach. This is what renders a fast as makruh.


Jazak'allah for your question.
