Did people’s teeth fall out? The Wikipedia entry doesn’t say. It also says something about Pepsodent having “irium” But the Pepsodent article says nothing about that.
Probably not, thorium generally speaking isn't nearly as active as the radium that was going into everything else at the time. Kind of why its still tolerated in welding rods, and gas mantles until recently. Nowhere near safe still to rub it all through your gob.
