if you visit any of the reviews of FLOURIDE-free toothpaste, you can tell at least some of them have reported cavaties.
I once tried brushing my teeth with baking soda instead of toothpaste for a few weeks. From what I understand, they have about the same level of abrasiveness, so they should be about as good at scrubbing the gunk out of your teeth. The key difference is that toothpaste has fluoride in it. After a while I started having pain/irritation in my mouth and gums. It went away when I went back to toothpaste. So if anyone was looking for anecdotal evidence of fluoride being good for your teeth, there you go.
i used toothpaste with potassium nitrate and flouride thats useful for sensitivity, just gotta find the right one.
BAKING soda is pretty abrasive, according to the dental sub, the grain size is usually coarse, so it wears down yuor enamel. i used some whitening toothpaste that uses a combination of baking soda, hydrated silica, and hydrogen peroxide, i stopped after it i learned it damages the teeth, but also it was causing severe gum irritation and ulcers, and gave me angular chelitis.
I brush with Nano-hydroxyapitite for like 3 weeks and then do flouride for a couple weeks. I don't think results happen that quickly.
which ones do you use? i originally had the OG nudge 10% but it causes chelitis so i stopped, i bought a different brand, i havnt used it yet. all 10%, and there were reports on some of these nHA have very sketchy concentration of nHa IN THEM. I MOSTLY use the ones with potassium nitrate, it helps with sensitivity.
X-Pur Remin. Its expensive but at least its tested and not sketchy. You have to be careful they are using a medical grade because the rod shaped stuff is apparently not tested for safety and is likely harmful when ingested.
This comment was removed incorrectly. What exactly is the "disinformation" here? This guy was literally just giving his interpretation of what happened to me, not making any assertions about fluoride and its efficacy in general. They even affirmed that it's ANECDOTAL evidence right in their reply! Stop reading conspiracies into everything!
