Guest guest Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Is there ever a good reason for using fluoride? I have a very sensitive tooth, and my dentist is recommending a prescription fluoride. I have been carefully avoiding fluoride for years, so I'm wondering if I should try it or not. Also, since fluoride can block iodine receptor sites, can the iodine I'm taking make it so the fluoride won't help my tooth? (I'm guessing there aren't any " fluoride receptor sites " --right?)

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 Flouride DOES desensitise teeth - but how? I know it is a component in anaesthesia - and also in rat poison. If it decreases sensitivity by poisoning nerve tissues that is NOT good. Here is a thought - iodine, fluorine and bromine have the same number of electrons in their outer shell - so they combine with the same substances. So...unless the pain relief is from poisoning the nerves in your teeth, shouldn't a mouthwash including iodine also help with toothpain? > > Is there ever a good reason for using fluoride?

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 OMG, as much as I have read (see. Dr. Mercola and Mike ) fluoride is a poison. I have used Lugol's solution on my teeth for tooth pain and sore gums. It definitely helped. Cheryl wrote: Is there ever a good reason for using fluoride?

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 My Dentist also prescribed this stuff and I used it for months. It did absolutely nothing to help my sensitivity but it was adding to my fluoride intake and taxing my poor thyroid even further. This was before I found this group. I really can't believe I let him talk me into that stuff. I don't have sensitivity anymore because I don't eat sugar, wheat, or simple carbs. I also do oil pulling which has really improved the condition of my teeth. Loralee > > Is there ever a good reason for using fluoride?

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 , Blaylock, MD writes a subscription health newsletter which focuses primarily on toxins and neurotoxins which have deleterious health effects. He has stated that green tea helps you to detox other toxins and that to avoid the fluoride in it, you should not add lemon to your cup of green tea because lemon makes the fluoride more bioavailable. I would suspect that any acid would have a similar effect. Perhaps this is why the British add milk to their tea instead of lemon in order to avoid absorbing fluoride since it is my understanding that black tea has fluoride in it also. (This is off the top of my head, and I didn't take time to double check the amount of fluoride in black tea -- whether it is more or less than the amount that is in green or white tea.) > > I read that green tea has a lot of fluoride in it. Wouldn't that be counteracting some of the iodine you are taking? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Cheryl, It is my understanding that fluoride can attach to the same receptors which iodine uses. Both minerals are in the halide family of elements so they have the same number of electrons in their outer orbits. Thus, they behave (somewhat) similarly -- but not identically, of course, because each element has its own unique properties. http://www.ptable.com/ For sensitive teeth, Sensodyne toothpaste works very well. It is quite popular for this purpose and it is sold wherever toothpaste is sold. > > Is there ever a good reason for using fluoride?
