Let me ask you one question about that.
Did you try cleaning them in any way before applying toothpaste and, I assume, cleaning it all off afterwards?
Here's the thing. You can't "fill in" the scratch via toothpaste, and if it dissolves the surface, there's a lot of fine tuning you need to do to make sure you don't completely ruin the disk instead of fixing it (it's why most people need to go to a local shop to get their disks resurfaced). That's why I have to know if it had anything to do with the toothpaste at all or if it's simply because you cleaned it.
So here's my next question.
See my initial post. Is this a 360 or original XBox?
After that, do you get the read error right from the start, in that it can't even load any games, or does it happen during the game at random intervals? That's basically an issue of finding out how bad the problem is. Also, how many games are you getting this error with? One game, or all of them?
As annoying as it may seem, sometimes the only way to answer a question is with a lot more questions.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
