Is Toothpaste FSA/HSA eligible?
Not eligible
No. Toothpaste is not FSA or HSA eligible, because it is a general personal hygiene product.
Why
What the IRS rules say
The IRS excludes items that are for general health or personal hygiene rather than the treatment of a specific medical condition. Everyday toothpaste, toothbrushes, and mouthwash fall in that category, even when marketed as healthy.
Based on IRS Publication 502.

What about prescription-strength or medicated dental products?
