I have always had sensitive teeth, but they were becoming more and more sensitive and brittle over the years.
I had my suspicions that my toothpaste was causing an issue. I used a major brand recommended by many dentists, but every time I brushed my teeth were more sensitive right after. I even had tooth pain.
This is why I don't use conventional toothpaste.
I switched to a natural toothpaste with no fluoride. My teeth feel stronger, they don't feel sensitive after I brush & I don't have tooth pain anymore. My teeth aren't breaking.
I did some research on fluoride and discovered that it isn't for me. I truly hope one day when I own a house, that we will have a whole house filter to rid our water system of fluoride as well.
I feel that it is that harmful. This is just my opinion & I am no expert, but I do know what does and does not feel good, and well, I have to say that fluoride free feels good to me :)
I read a few articles that I will list as resources at the bottom, but the summary of what I have learned is this:
- Fluoride is poisonous
- Fluoride doesn't prevent tooth decay
- Fluoride can discolor your teeth
- Fluoride dosage cannot be controlled person to person
- Fluoride can accumulate in a person's body
- Dental Fluorosis is not pretty (go here to learn more)
- It can affect your hip bones
- Fluoride has been associated with IQ "deficits" in children
