I’ve researched a lot on this topic and I’m torn 50/50. My doctor said its totally fine, but I’ve heard otherwise. I’ve heard that it is not PROVEN to help teeth and in fact, the side effects could be worse. Any advice moms?
The county I live in does not put flouride in their water. I only give her boiled water in her bottles, I’m crazy about all the chemicals that are put in tap water these days.

I have a flouride deficiency on my teeth, so I figured it would be a good idea to replace my regular water with nursery water to gain extra flouride. Is that a good idea? Is there more flouride than tap water in nursery water?

I hears flouride was actually bad for your teeth is this true?

Its makes teeth stronger??
why not just hand out fluoride pills, or even better, provide dental care.
Why not add vitamins to the water also, like calcium which is good for the teeth.
why do they care about our teeth so much anyway?
why not let me keep my tax money and buy my own flouride?

Is flouride really that good for your teeth?




I only want answers from people who have actually heard about this or have researched it.

I heard that flouride isn’t all that great for your teeth after all and that it can be somewhat harmful.
Thanks so much for everyones answers. That really helps :)

I’ve been using a flouride rinse everyday after brushing since I was little, and I’m wondering, how does it help your teeth? You’re just rinsing your mouth with the stuff for a minute, so how would it help?

My son is 15 months old and when I brush his teeth I use the little finger thing and toddler toothpaste. All the infant stuff is triple as expensive and comes with those finger brushes and I have like 100 of those around. Is there a difference between flouride free infant toothpaste and flouride free toddler toothpaste?
I figured I was paying for the Gerber name with the infant stuff, I just wanted to make sure. Thanks!

Is there fluoride in my bottled water?




What bottled water should I buy to limit my fluoride exposure? Are they all the same?

Poland Spring?
Aquafina?
Dasani?
Store Brand Spring water?
Any other?
Hey awesome job with the criticism, look at the facts my friend it’s not good to ingest fluoride at high levels, I thinks the Nazis figured out it made the concentration camp victims into docile sheep. While fluoride is good for teeth, I’m pretty sure the only teeth are in my mouth, so I’ll put fluoride on in the form of toothpaste not in my stomach in the form of tap water. "baaaaaaaaaaaah"

Fluoride in Tap Water: Good or Bad?




Is fluoride in tap water beneficial or harmful? You always hear that it’s good for the teeth, but after having watch this video, the facts just seem a little different.

Now, I know that there are plenty of things in tap water (mercury, lead, etc.) that can be filtered out with something like a PUR filter or other similar products, but from what I’ve seen, a filtration system to filter out fluoride is fairly expensive.

Artesian and spring water are good alternatives to tap water, but the only problem is all the plastic bottles that most people don’t recycle. You also have to be careful of brands that bottle tap water, like Aquafina and Dasani.

I stay away from sodas as well because the company’s use unfiltered tap water in that too.

After having watched the video provided, what is your opinion on fluoridated water?

And please, don’t answer until you’ve watched the video. Thanks.

If I add too much water, I’d afraid she won’t eat it, but if I don’t add enough, obviously it will do no good.

What’s the right amount of water to add to her food to make it moist?
I’m beginning to soften her food because she is nearly 15 years old and her teeth aren’t so good anymore.

I just asked but I guess I wanted to hear more:
Anything that has carbonation is acidic and will leach minerals from your teeth?
What about the fact that it is "mineral water"
Does the mineral content change the acidity?
Does it make a difference if the mineral water is naturally carbonated?

Do Refrigerator water filters remove fluoride?




I am interested in knowing if the built-in water purification system on a typical refrigerator (this one being a GE model) remove the fluoride from the water?

My chemistry professor in college maintained that fluoride is a known human carcinogen and that it provides no net health benefits provided you actually take care of your teeth on your own. I am not a fan of fluoridated water as I have seen studies that show fluoride leads to all sorts of health problems.

But that aside, I am not looking for a debate about the merits of fluoride, only information about what sort of filters are needed to remove it from my water.

Thank you. :)

I feel like I’ve heard "soda’s bad for your teeth because it’s carbonated, stay away from carbonated beverages"
but I also think that the only thing I’ve read about why soda makes cavities so fast is it’s acidity and sugar content.
So what about mineral water?
