The answer

Swallowing mouthwash or toothpaste intentionally invalidates the fast, but it does not invalidate it if swallowed unintentionally. Swallowing the taste of toothpaste after brushing also invalidates the fast. A fasting person should not intentionally swallow their saliva as long as they can taste the toothpaste. This difficulty can be avoided by not using toothpaste during the daytime in Ramadan. It is better for a fasting person not to use toothpaste because it has a strong penetrating power that might reach the stomach without one noticing.
