Fluoridated toothpaste is not a toxin that you’re exposing yourself or your children to on a daily basis. The truth is that fluoride can make you sick if you gobble up a very large portion of it. The same is true, as you know, of other perfectly safe products and foods. Our solution: Don’t eat your toothpaste (and don’t fret if you swallow a tiny bit; it won’t hurt you).
This isn’t something that we suggest because it might help your smile. We suggest fluoridated toothpaste because it actually provides an amazing level of help in keeping your enamel strong. This layer of your tooth is made of minerals. Decay begins with the softening of your enamel as minerals are destroyed. Fluoride can help in two ways: It can repair early damage by replacing lost minerals. It can also prevent this from happening in the first place!
