Guest guest Posted June 27, 2002 Report Share Posted June 27, 2002 in response to: Subject: fluoride toothpaste Could someone clarify for me the issue of whether fluoride toothpaste is safe for our kids? flouride is not safe for anyone. http://emporium.turnpike.net/P/PDHA/health.htm We have tried the " all natural " toothpastes from the health food store but they are pretty nasty tasting. a paste made from baking soda and salt ( http://emporium.turnpike.net/P/PDHA/health/keyes.htm ) may be a choice. some are " nasty " tasting, but also some we have found to be quite palatable, especially ones from " toms " brand. I see that Kirkmans now offers an alternative toothpaste but is it effective for preventing cavities? tooth decay is a matter of the immune system. with proper brushing, and cleanaing, and well functionjing immune system, natural methods of cleaning work fine. trying to find an amalgam-free dentist to fill them. any dentist may be an amalgam free dentist. just tell them you do NOT want any amalgam.... generally they will use whatever materials you are willing ot pay for (or your insurance, if it pays for anything other then amalgam). it is customer choice. If you want porcelain, youget it, if you want composites, you get it, if you want targis vectirs you get it.. you get what you pay for. minna " The Doctor of the future will give No Medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Hey Niki I wouldnt go near anything with fluoride when suffering with a thyroid problem! I had the same advice when having all my amalgam fillings, gold crowns etc replaced several years ago. My dentist, though brilliant was horrified when I told him I dont use fluroide and I too had some sensitivity. But I have always used Aloe-Dent (flurodie free) toothpaste and have great teeth and NO sensitivity. You can get whitening, sensitive and other types. Same price as the other chemical laden ones but as, if not more effective. Buy it in Health Food stores or on-line. Best wishes > > Bit of an odd question, maybe. I'm in the middle of having a fair bit of dental work done and the dentist prescribed me some toothpaste due to extreme sensitivity to cold. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
