Fluoride

  
     
  Yes, there is even a controversy about Fluoride.   I will add more here soon but basically I've read that the rate of cavities has lowered more due to diet over adding Fluoride to our water.  The danger is that fluoride can zap the body of calcium and therefore cause osteoporosis and other problems.  Fluoride is actually a poison.  There is enough fluoride in a tube of toothpaste to kill a child; that's why there are warning labels and we're advised not to use fluoridated toothpaste on children.

Dental sealants for children contain cancer causing xeonoestrogens.

Safe to say, when the doctor recommends you offer your baby fluoridated water, just don't do it.  With a healthy diet, good brushing techniques, and regular flossing, you and your children will have no tooth decay.

If your child takes a bottle at night or even if he or she nurses, try to wipe the teeth off so the milk doesn't sit there.  At night there is less saliva to clean the teeth and that can lead to decay.  Start brushing as soon as they have some teeth no matter how much they protest.  Get them into the habit early and wipe their teeth after each nursing.  This is sometimes difficult, but it's so important.  There's nothing worse than a little person with cavities.
