You can email me off list if you want! _____ From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Falconer Al-Hindi Sent: Thursday, April 29, 2010 10:59 AM Subject: [ ] Re:fluoride My children are 11 and 10 years old and have been fluoride-free for 4 years. We've had excellent reports from their dentist and hygienist, and no cavities, ever! My children aren't good tooth-brushers (they are probably average for their age in this respect); I credit their dental health to our use of zylitol in baking. I bake nearly all the baked goods that they consume (we are GF/SF/CF/yeast-free) and always use zylitol (usually corn-based but sometimes birch-based). Also, the only gum they chew is Trident original peppermint, which is sweetened with zylitol. Zylitol inhibits bacteria growth. HTH, hi, i remember hearing about fluoride being bad somewhere back in the day and so i use tom's fluoride-free toothpaste for my son. we just saw his pediatrician and i mentioned how its hard to get to brush his teeth and he said we should come in for a fluoride brushing on his teeth and do it every 6 months to protect them. can someone remind me why this is bad? also, do you have any helpful tips for healthy dental care for a 2 yr old who doesnt like his teeth brushed? thanks leah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
