mouth syndrome and changed to Biotene toothpaste and mouthwash cause

calcuim in it. I dont think there is anything wrong with this

product. I am open to new info.

I believe baking soda is too harsh. It is an abrasive. I am just

starting to learn more about this I just posted a message about using

Iodine for Fibromyalgia, here's the website address:

http://www.fibromyalgiarecovery.com/index.htm

It does have some info about Dental care and Fibro there. I use a tooth

polish from Melaleuca that doesn't contain flouride. It does contain

natural ingredients like Melaleuca Oil (quality tea tree oil), propolis

and myrrh. I'd hate to see what my teeth would be like without good

dental products.

I hope this info helps you too.

Rose, my dentist has me using a floride rinse to strengthen my enamel. It is the whiting toothpaste that thins the enamel as it is like a peroxide and is caustic when used over and over. Since I started using the floride my sensitivity has improved greatly, and even my peridontal disease has improved.

I don't know what my pH is supposed to be, but my father is a dentist

so I grew up with pretty good teeth. As an experiment a while back, I

eliminated fluoride as well as a lot of other toxic ingredients in my

diet and environment. So I switched to Tom's toothpaste (they make one

without fluoride: I use peppermint) and I think I'm doing fairly well,

although I have not been to the dentist yet since I started doing

this. I asked my dad if adults really needed fluoride, and he said at

about my age (mid 40s) it's not really necessary.
