What would happen if you had diamond-paste toothpaste and black hole teeth?
(I encouraged him to modify the question to a more realistic one of "neutron
star material" teeth).

That question is really odd, especially taken into account that the
toothpaste is completely irrelevant and inconsequential in this setting
(regardless of whether you have black hole or neutron star teeth).

Consulting wikipedia for the density of neutron stars... Apparently the
crust has a very low density so teeth made from superficial material
might weigh only 100kg or so each. But they could weight a billion times
more than that.
I don't think that you could make a scratch in neutron star material,
not even with diamond, if that is the question.

Atomic tooth decay, perhaps? What's the half-life of a nutronium tooth?
