Is there any way of cleaning your teeth with out fluoride? ?

Question

i know fluoride is a contaminant but every toothpaste i see has it and i was wondering if there is any product that is 100% natural for brushing your teeth i have heard of baking soda but not quite understand its process

Answer 1

I know someone who wont use tooth paste because of the fluoride thing being dangerous.  In replacement they use mouthwash to brush their teeth.  Crazy.

Answer 2

baking soda is very effective. there are also loads of natural products out there that use no fluoride; such as 'green beaver co" products.

Answer 3

Try Tom's products.

Answer 4

There are many different brands that create toothpastes without fluoride in them.

- JASON

- Green Beaver (my fav.  Because they add xylitol in it, which has been studied to prevent cavities)

- Desert Essence

- Kiss My Face

- Nature's Gate

- NewCo

- Peelu

- Weleda

There is also baking soda, which I've heard people say they use.  Some people brush their teeth with tea tree oil.

Also, there is something called an ionic toothbrush, that doesn't even use toothpaste!  Soladey carries ionic toothbrushes.

I'm sure you can find at least one of these brands in a larger store (Canada has a Walmart-type store called London Drugs, that carries alot of natural products).  If not, visit a local health store.  Or purchase online.

Answer 5

Baking soda dissolved plaque and is quite good to use as a tooth paste. Don't you find tooth paste without fluoride? Not even in health food stores or in a pharmacy? What about Weleda products?

Answer 6

I'm sure your local 'health food store' has some for people who are afraid of nothing.

If you're not dumb enough to eat a tube of toothpaste, the fluoride in toothpaste should not be a problem (and also help protect your teeth).

Also, something being 100% natural isn't better for you.  My guess is that you just want to tell your friends that you're special because your toothpaste is 100% natural.

Answer 7

Fluoride is the only known thing that fights tooth decay.

Answer 8

Fluoride is more poisonous than lead.

Go to your local health food store. You can always dip your toothbrush in baking soda, then pour peroxide on top.. You will have clean whitee teeth.
