It is since it reinforces your tooth enamel. Tooth pastes are a "meh" solution since they don't stay for too long on your teeth, but it's something. As long as you brush your teeth properly you can go on without fluoride.

Fluoride causes a reduction in IQ per a Harvard University mega review, you stupid fricking freak. I can’t wait for the day of the rope: dentists are first
Yours can't go any lower, so you have nothing to fear.
> He believes the """study"""
^This. Imagine going to a dentist, having them rip open your gums, and then rubbing a glob of straight fluoride into your bloodstream. xD
>reduction in IQ per a Harvard University mega review
Post the study. Protip, it doesn't exist
Link to the study or meta-analysis you're talking about? If it's a "mega review" I assume you mean meta-analysis
Pro tip: non-fluoride tootpaste + couple of drops of fennel essential oil
>is there solid evidence?

The department of public works in my city is facing a lawsuit because kids in my city have had skyrocketing rates of cavities over the last ten years, and a recent investigation has shown that the mechanism for adding fluoride to the city drinking water has been malfunctioning for a decade. The cavities don’t seem to be an issue in other nearby cities with fluoride in their water over the same timespan. Seems like a reasonable conclusion.
Wait. Americans WANT the government to dump chemicals into their drinking water? Lmao wtf is wrong with you people? I live in Europe, we don't use flouride and I've never had a cavity in my 32 years of life. Just brush your teeth, Jesus.
>I live in Europe, we don't use flouride
We do though, that's probably why you've never had a cavity
here in croatia they put chlorine instead of flouride
Incorrect. It's not used in my country.
it's used in most european countries
doesn't matter, americans have in general better teeth than europeans
t. spaniard
"Out of a population of about three-quarters of a billion, under 14 million people (approximately 2%) in Europe receive artificially-fluoridated water. Those people are in the UK (5,797,000), Republic of Ireland (4,780,000), Spain (4,250,000), and Serbia (300,000)."
looks like the nogsandchinks are beating all the developed countries according to that choropleth map
It's because they drink corn syrup, they need the fluoride or they'll look like their cousins across the pond
flouride is added to tap water all over europe except for the UK, and it shows in their dental health
human teeth are not adapted to a diet of constant grazing on sugary shit
>So do Americans have better teeth than Brits? Actually, it seems the teeth of Brits are actually healthier be than Americans' teeth. According to the latest figures from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the average 12-year-old child in the UK has 0.7 missing or filled teeth.

I don't need a stupid ass study to tell the difference between american and british teeth, midwit
stereotypes exist for a reason
Most people are stupid and don't know the difference between sodium fluoride (neurotoxin added to water by ~~*them*~~) and calcium fluoride (added to toothpaste)
>sodium fluoride neurotoxin
huh, interesting
there's a pretty balanced-looking article in nature from oct '21:

totally not suspicious
>Most people are stupid and don't know the difference between sodium fluoride (neurotoxin added to water by ~~*them*~~) and calcium fluoride (added to toothpaste)
toothpaste uses sodium fluoride too
calcium fluoride is less soluble, which decreases its toxicity, and most likely decreases its ability to diffuse into your enamel
topical fluoride supposedly is pretty much safe compared to the concerns of systemic fluoride via water fluoridation
some places have naturally high levels of fluoride in the water, but I don't know if that's at dangerous levels
My sister-in-law is a hippie alternative health loony and when her son was a child she had him brushing with non-fluoride toothpaste, his teeth were full of fillings by 18.
idk why but that's fricking hot
Fluoride is highly toxic and harmful to human health. It has no place in your toothpaste (or drinking water).
>every dentist says flouride is good for preventing cavities
Find a holistic dentist instead.
>Find a holistic dentist instead.
If you're in the USA they already put it in the water.
>is there solid evidence?
not... really? we know flouride is good for your teeth and makes bones and shit more orderly and calcified, but there isnt strong evidence on if that's actually good or not. we know it CAN be bad for your bones and teeth, but only for kids teeth that havent come through yet. it also has a low threshold for toxicity which is never ideal. just like, eat a balanced diet and dont do moron shit and you should be fine.
I think it's mostly genetic how many cavities you'll get.
I only brush my teeth with tea tree oil and gargle with vodka (don't swallow) and have next to zero problems with my teeth.
Friend of mine has an autistic teeth routine with toothpaste with fluoride., flossing, etc. and needs to visit the dentist at least once a year
actual moron, everyone should still go to the dentist once a year, a dentist cleaning catches things that would be very hard for regular brushing to get
Eh, came out the wrong way. I still go to my routine examinations, but there's nothing to be done.
tbh senpai it doesn't matter if fluoride cured cancer and made your dick three inches longer it's not up to the government to medicate you by putting shit in the water.
but they do have a mandate to provide drinking water, and to ensure that its as high quality as possible. plus they have an obligation to regulate healthcare, and ensure the best health for their citizens. they shouldnt FORCE you to drink it, but they do functionally the same thing mandating extra thyamine in bread and cereals.
>but they do have a mandate to provide drinking water, and to ensure that its as high quality as possible.
they don't. the utility might, but there's no need for that to even be a government organization
>plus they have an obligation to regulate healthcare, and ensure the best health for their citizens.
lol
Stop listening to the grifters. Get Duraphat prescribed.
Why the frick do morons of IST with exactly zero knowledge about anything always scare themselves into cutting out totally normal things from their lives?
Seems the stupider you are the more you're into no-fluoride, no-seed-oil, no-fap, no-poop, whatever
Just don't eat sugar and you won't get cavities you fat disgusting frick.
Kys you dysgenic mutant.
he's right
anti-flouride morons have worse teeth
>highly processed seed oil
>quitting porn
This is the best you do?
>Trusting the dental industry
At my last checkup, they tried to get me to commit to thousands of dollars of work. Insurance would have paid for it but I felt pressured and didn't accept. None of the work was necessary.
Dentists and dental office workers are silver-tongued con-artists.
haven't used flouride in half a year now
only brush my teeth with salt and baking soda
>footlets
Can someone redpill me on oil pulling?
Does it work or is it some moronic black people thing?
Yes there is solid evidence. We know the chemical mechanism of how it works. Brush and use a non-alcoholic Fluoride rinse once a day. I haven't had cavities in years since using the rinse.

>composite resins are the usual filling
>literal BPA
I wonder if that leaches into the bloodstream
>literal BPA
No not literally. Bis-Gma is made from BPA and another compound that polymerize with UV energy exposure. It literally isn't BPA anymore.
last time I did decent chemistry was high-school, but my lizard brain's still apparently not too moronic:
>Concerns have been raised about the potential for bis-GMA to break down into or be contaminated with the related compound bisphenol A.[6]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bis-GMA#Safety
at least for now we haven't found evidence, however
>However, no negative health effects of bis-GMA use in dental resins have been found.[2][7]
and I'm too lazy to look into the references to see if they'd sufficiently assuage those concerns, or if it's a case of absence of evidence is not evidence of absence
further
>Salivary esterases can slowly degrade bis-GMA-based sealants, forming Bis-HPPP
>Structurally, it is a di-ether of bisphenol A.
but again, my chemistry-fu is too rusty to know if a di-ether has similar effects, or if there's a pathway to it being converted to something with those
All valid topics of discussion, just pointing out the moronation of saying its "literally" BPA, when it factually, "literally" isn't.
It is the aromaticity of the bpa that causes estrogen binding affinity, not that it is unbound to another compound. Do you really want a bpa adjacent compound to be in an environment that is involved in mastication and digestion? Why even risk it???
>It is the aromaticity of the bpa
Incorrect. It's the phenol group that is found on BPA and estrogen that cause them to bind to the estrogen receptor.
Bis-gma doesn't have the phenol group.
Imagine using fluoride instead of hydroxyapatite, fricking moronic muricans.
I need a big woman to lift with and have many children
>makes a bunch of claims without evidence
>says israelite
It's like you guys don't even try to think anymore.
This shit is all so surface level that it isn’t even worth spoonfeeding morons like you. Take your sophomoric skepticism back to r*ddit.com or stfu
I'd suicide myself if i had calves like this guy
Fluoride is OUTDATED and UNSAFE
UPGRADE to sulfate-FREE HYDROYAPATITE and XYLITOL paste, which is SAFE and MORE EFFECTIVE
This. There is absolutely no reason to use fluoride when hydroxyapatite does the same thing without the toxicity
it does change the mineral that buildsup on the surface enamel, which is stronger , unfotunately flouride is also toxic, and effects brain development negatively in infants and children, up to -10 iq points, its truly a mystery as to why it hasnt been removed from tap water everywhere https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31743803/
dental threads always turn to schizo threads
>still doesn't post the study
Makes you wonder who the braindead moron really is.
