Apparatus 10 discloses a toothpaste dispenser comprising a housing 14 with a movable lever in communication with a dispensing means engaging a tube 12 of toothpaste within the housing. The housing 14 is comprised of a cover 22 and base 20 with the base having side walls and an end wall with an aperture 28 for inserting the tube spout 23. Mounted within the base 20 is a pliable planar member 24 that covers the collapsible tube 12 when inserted therein. There is also at least one aperture within the base 20 providing means for mounting the dispenser to a structure, such as a wall. The cover 22 has opposing side walls and end wall for receiving the base and a longitudinal slot 18 for the handle 16 of the dispensing means to travel therealong. The dispensing means is comprised of a roller 26 rotatable within a frame or bracket 34 having an exteriorly positioned handle 16 attached thereto. Once a collapsible tube 12 is inserted under the pliable member 24 and the spout cover is removed, the tube contents can be extruded by moving the handle 16 that causes the roller 26 to engage the pliable member 24 thereby compressing the tube. The dispensing means engages the tube 12 at its closed end and compresses the tube flat as it moves towards the nozzle or spout 23 over time.
