Tooth paste is good.
it's normal as long as it's smooth.
It's in the urine BTW. It's called "URATE"

Nothing to worry about.

Please post pics of your tort and his/her enclosure. Read the "Beginners Mistake" Thread and ask questions so as to learn.

And a very warm welcome to the forum!

As long as it's smooth and not gritty, it's fine.
Keep the tortoise well hydrated and you will probably see less of it.

Also, please ensure it gets enough sun light daily.
