Fluoride is very poisonous, I know they put it in the water, but I don't think that's a good thing. Do a bit of googling before you decide to start taking them.
Yep fluoride is poison! It's up there with aspartame in my book. Reverse Osmosis filtration get's rid of it in water. We only drink our filtered rain water from our tank and we use Weleda natural toothpaste without fluoride . I'm thankful that I didn't grow up with fluoride in our water and that DS will never have it either... Funny thing is that my dentist always tells me that I have great teeth and then goes on about how bad people's teeth are that don't have fluoride LOL He has no idea what my thoughts are on the subject! I'd say that it's more a case of eating crap food and not brushing properly! Whenever I've had to use colgate my teeth are sensitive after one brush, my mouth is dry and I get ulcers from it.
BS, If you're a bit iffy about the value of extra fluoride, there is a product on the market called Tooth Mousse that contains a milk protein that remineralises your teeth, ie it actually makes the enamel on your teeth stronger. I used it for a while and it did wonders. In any case, if your teeth are poor you should be seeing the dentist pretty regularly so chat to them as it could be a case of just using a different toothpaste or getting your teeth cleaned more often.
