Can phenolpthalein solution be used to prove that toothpaste is a base?

Phenolphthalein changes from colorless to pink in the range of pH 8.2 - 10. If toothpaste has a pH that is below this range, phenolphthalein will not indicate the basicity. if the pH is higher, which I believe it is in most (some) toothpastes, then phenolphthalein can be used, because it will turn from colorless to pink.
