Fluoride is known as a toxic substance, and even the FDA requires that fluoridated toothpaste must have a poison control label and many countries in Europe have banned water fluoridation.

What is Fluoride?

While fluoride is a natural occurring mineral found in the Earth’s crust, the fluoride typically utilized in dentistry is lab made - to ensure consistency and accessibility. The type of Fluoride that is used in water fluoridation is actually Fluorosilic acid, which a chemical byproduct that results from manufacturing phosphate fertilizer. It is actually so toxic that the EPA has strict standards on how it can be disposed of.

Why is Fluoride used in Traditional Dentistry?

In the mid 1900's dentists were researching fluoride’s ability to prevent cavities. Since then, it gained a foothold in the industry due to this purported benefit. However, more recent research is negating its anti-cariogenic effects.

Is Fluoride Necessary?

A lot has changed since the 1950's. Modern research is actually finding no cavity preventing benefit of fluoridated dental products. In fact the CDC acknowledged in 2001, that there was no correlation between fluoride use and incidences of cavities in a population. Further, excess fluoride use can cause decay of the tooth enamel. Many countries in Europe have recognized that Fluoride is toxic and have banned water fluoridation practices.

At Bloom Holistic Dental, we offer natural and effective fluoride-free alternatives

Hydroxyapatite

The main component of teeth and bones, it accounts for 97% of our enamel and 70% of dentin. It is a naturally occurring substance that our body already produces, so it is biocompatible and non-toxic.

Numerous studies have proven its effectiveness in remineralizing teeth, especially for remineralizing cavities only in the enamel layer.

Calcium Phosphate

A compound that contains both calcium and phosphate, which are both essential in the remineralization of enamel. It’s a naturally occurring mineral found in bone and teeth and is very similar to our enamel.

Nano Silver

Nano silver combined with calcium has been shown to remineralize tooth enamel and has even been shown to produce new calcium phosphate crystals.

Silver also reduces “white spot lesions” or areas of decalcification by 60%, balances oral pH, and desensitizes teeth that are sensitive to cold or other stimuli. It is all natural and non-toxic.
