Re: extra fluoride treatment necessary?


Ask your dentist how much fluoride is in the fluoride varnish (hint
22,600 ppm - toothpaste has 1,000 ppm and has a warning that if
swallowed call poison control). There is no dispute that fluoride is
toxic in high doses and 22,600 ppm is a HUGE GIGANTIC dose

Ask your dentist how much fluoride gets absorbed into your body (hint
just as much as gets absorbed from dental fluoride treatment)

Ask your dentist if anyone has had bad reactions to the varnish (hint
yes)

Fluoride is neither a nutrient nor essential for healthy teeth.
Dentists use fluoride too cavalierly when, even their own journals
tell them, fluoride is only to be used on people with high rates of
tooth decay (of if through some psychic means, they assume you are
going to get cavities.)

Actually, the only scientifically valid predictor of cavities is
poverty and already having cavities.

In my opinion, you are already over-fluoridating yourself. There is a
published case of New York City (fluoridated) man who had an
obsessive toothbrushing habit who developed arthritic like pains in
his neck that disappeared after stopping the fluoridated toothpaste.

Folks,

I use toothpaste with fluoride, rinse my mouth with Act twice a day, and I
d

rink fluoridated water from the tap. I go to the dentist twice a year
for
routine cleaning and check-up. I have no special problems. The dentist
tells me that I need his adult fluoride treatment, where his assistant uses
a q-tip to spread the contents of a little tear-open packet on my teeth in
about one minute. They tell me that I need this because it's a higher
concentration of fluoride than I get elsewhere. They charge $35 extra for
the fluoride treatment - not covered by insurance.

The result is that I don't trust my dentist anymore. I think he is looking
to get as much money from me as he can without regard for what's best for
my teeth. Am I getting to be paranoid in my old age?

Thanks for any advice.

- Dave
