Is Fluoride in Water Safe to Drink? - Tooth Decay & Dental Fluorosis Dr.Berg

[@jessemonteon120]

Subbed. Finally its rare that a doctor doesn't just recite what they hear or learns in school. Thank you for also allowing me to understand this and be able to explain it to someone else.

[@MrFreeGman]

I've done a lot of research on water fluoridation over the years. The conclusion I've come to is that it's definitively not helpful in preventing tooth decay, and is almost certainly harmful in a number of different ways. On top of that, medicating people non-consensually for a diseases that they might not even have with a completely arbitrary dose of said medication is extremely unethical and irresponsible, even if it did help. With that said, I use this issue as a litmus test for doctors and health authorities. If they support water fluoridation, they are either uneducated, or dishonest, and in either case, they should not be trusted with your health.

[@hOurworld11]

Exactly, 👍

[@Mairitas]

I am using fluoride as dentists are too expensive and I have enough troubles with my teeth as it is. BUT I recently did a paper for my university and in a citable medical database I fould out that fluoride in my toothpaste is ACUTELY TOXIC 😳😳😳😳 I rinse my mouth after brushing very thoroughly from now on.

[@MrFreeGman]

@@Mairitas You should look into buying a flouride-free toothpaste. Most drug stores carry them.

How to stop tooth decay? Stop drinking fluoridated water, srart oil pulling twice daily, stop eating refined sugar, Stop using fluoridated toothpaste, srart drinking bone broth, stop eating all grains reduce physic acid in the diet gargle with diluted hydrogen peroxide (among other things) to reduce streptoccocus mutants in your mouth. and very importantly use a waterpick instead of flossing, There are so many things that you can do,MOST of which your dentist won't tell you.

[@praygelord]

Major knowledge bombs there. Author ramiel nagel in his book cure tooth decay makes many of these recommendations and more. Worth reading

[@JustHereToHear]

Anything we can do about fluorosis of teeth? You know, those white spots

[@Meileehere]

Why did you emphasize waterpik over flossing?

[@bluebunny7639]

Waterpik is based on a different need. Its actually intended to get below the gum line where the floss and tooth brush cant get to. Flossing is still important!

[@madalene7724]

Thank you! I have been warning my family and friends for decades about the risks of fluoride. We have our own rain water supply, that we filter twice and we only use, Grants Herbal non-fluoride toothpaste to brush our teeth. My son has never had fluoride introduced into his body and his teeth and bones are strong and healthy. We also noticed that we are not as prone to getting tartar on our teeth, since we changed our toothpaste.

[@jrstrange123]

Gonna give grants a try. Normally use baking soda and coconut oil.

[@trishs982]

White Knight - your son has had plenty of fluoride actually. It’s an element and mineral and is present in everything from tea to pork, even trace amounts in the air. He may do alright if he doesn’t snack or sip often and is good at plaque control.

[@tomunderwood4283]

Fluoride reduces testosterone. If a group wanted to reduce the testosterone in the general population, to reduce masculinity they would… 1. Tell people to eat less saturated fat. 2. Discourage eating red meat. (Zinc) 3. Encourage vegetarian food, especially soy and flax seeds. 4. Tell people to reduce cholesterol through diet and statins. 5. Put fluoride in the drinking water. 6. Encourage people to avoid the sun to reduce their vitamin D levels. 7. Encourage using vegetable oils which are high in Omega 6. All these reduce testosterone. 🤔

[@sarahthompson138]

Right on. And heads up, Brita filters and most commercially available filters do not filter fluoride. 😫

[@trevorodom1930]

Sarah Thompson you have to get a serious filter to remove fluoride

[@billgateskilledmyuncle23]

Yes RO's remove flouride.

[@JesusIsAboveAllOtherNames]

That's right, Sarah. Neither do PUR water filters. I am new to knowing how dangerous flouride is, so it's really liberating to know about it. Have you noticed Walmart doesn't usually carry filters that filter out flouride? I have checked 7 different Wal-Mart stores in a 80-mile radius of my residence, and not a single one carries a filtration system that fillers flouride. Do you have any idea what stores would carry those types of filters? You'd think Walmart carried them for sure, but not where I live. Any ideas would be appreciated, because I have terminal cancer, and I know flouride only makes cancer worse. If you don't know, it's ok. :) I'll just keep truckin'!

[@sbhg3166]

While working at a municipal water treatment plant that fed Fluoride into the water system. I was shocked to see a part of the concrete curb of the leak containment area where the large fluoride tank was located had been completely dissolved away including the concrete floor itself. It was the small drips that occurred at the hose coupling. (I did NOT drink the water but brought mine from home where my local water system did not feed fluoride into the water), .

[@jennifertomlinson2011]

[@victoriabower7547]

TripEL OG Darkness Silly. Most bottled water is just tap water of the bottler’s municipal water systems. Most bottled waters contain fluoride, some very high amounts. You will have to research to see if there are bottled water brands that do not contain fluoride in your area. Better yet, buy a filtering system for your own tap water.

[@ItsLoriK]

We're screwed either way as plastic residue is in water, moreso in tap. While I could get the house well filtrated I'm 44 with no kids. So, I use the Brita Longlast filters (rated better than the regular ones) & got hub Simple Human bottles where water doesn't touch plastic.

[@chronicstories]

An ro system with a fluoride filter i think its like a tr 124 filter or something special...

[@oiputthatback7361]

A friend argued with me about “ needing fluoride in the water and toothpaste “, my response “ if it is so BENEFICIAL , then why does this country (U.K. ) has an epidemic of bad teeth ?!”. Let’s just say , four years later I’m still waiting. Also if you look closely at the tooth paste tube , it used to make some loose comment about contacting the “ poison dept if swallowed “.

[@liorasitelman1856]

I use “himalaya neem and pomegranate toothpaste”. Order off amazon. It is gluten free flouride free and saccharine free. Also doesn’t have sodium laurel sulfate which is another toxin. Very good product.

[@ItsLoriK]

You should not brush your teeth right after you eat if you ate anything with sugar or that's acidic, like coffee. In those cases wait 20-30 minutes later. I also swish & drink water after eating. Lastly, if no change in diet then topical fluoride can help. It's systemic ingestion via water that's a big concern. Former dental hygienist here.

[@trishs982]

Lori K - Excellent catch!! You are correct. And never brush immediately after vomiting when the stomach acid has temporarily softened the enamel.

[@craigm8461]

To answer some questions, no I don’t work for a toothpaste company, though Julie you did make me smile! I’m a dental hygienist who loves keeping teeth beautiful and healthy for a lifetime. 2- Could the « powers that be » get the ppm wrong? Theoretically that’s possible ! But with water testing kits available for $10 that’s not going to be a smart strategy to kill us off. 3- Just because there are studies, doesn’t mean they are worth anything. They must be large, randomized, repeatable, peer-reviewed. For example, the « evidence « in the Mercola article was a bunch of rural Chinese who both used fluoride and had low i.q. Huh. Imagine that.

[@ImSpecial-gk2hb]

My boyfriend has been a dental assistant for years and has seen it first-hand with people coming in all the time who haven't used fluoride and how bad their teeth can be, then they tell them to start using fluoride. He says on their next check-ups, their teeth are much better looking. Also the amounts that are in your water and toothpaste aren't enough to be toxic, as they are very minute amounts. What rots your teeth and makes plaque and calcium build up is sugar (in the form of straight sugar, and worse is things like bread, which stick in between your teeth and turn into sugars, which forms cavities) and not properly flossing or brushing. Make sure you floss mid-day or after your first meal, and brush as well. Also before you go to bed floss and brush. It differs from person to person depending on the bacteria and enzymes in your system. Some people never have to brush and they never get cavities and some people are just prone to getting them easier, even if they brush. It just depends on your body.

[@iwanttosurvive3992]

I just left a comment regarding this. I switched to non- fluoride toothpaste this year from Jan to Oct. I just went to the dentist 2 weeks ago and for the first time in my life, I have signs of cavities forming *between* my teeth, not just in top of the molars like I have occasionally had over the years. So I have gone back to using fluoride toothpaste. What kept me using the non- fluoride toothpaste was when I was out of town and used regular toothpaste, my mouth would feel sore and cut up and I realized I had felt that my whole life and never really connected it to toothpaste. I'm able to go back to fluoride toothpaste bc I happened to have a sample of AquaFresh that I used when I ran out of the non fluoride toothpaste and AquaFresh doesn't make my mouth feel like that.
