Is toothpaste allowed in carry-on luggage?
amin bram
Yes, toothpaste is allowed in airplane cabins, but it is subject to the rules applicable to liquids during security screening. Even though it is an everyday hygiene product, toothpaste is considered a gel, just like creams or cosmetics. It must therefore comply with strict conditions to be carried in the cabin.
In case of non-compliance, the toothpaste may be confiscated at the checkpoint, even if it is new or partially used. It is therefore important to plan its size before departure.
