What is the danger of Fluoride?

Fluoride is more poisonous than lead and just slightly less poisonous than arsenic. It is a cumulative poison that accumulates in bone over the years. Fluoride occasionally cause skin eruptions such as atopic dermatitis, eczema, or urticaria, gastric distress and headache. These hypersensitive reactions usually disappear promptly after discontinuation of the fluoride!


Can fluoride be injected by intravenous injection?

That would be a bad thing. Fluoride is a hardener, that comes from an industrial by-product. For the same reason that you shouldn't swallow toothpaste with fluoride, you would want it to be injected. It has been shown to cause hardening of the arteries and other problems. Good to rinse your teeth with, but not really good for the rest of you.


Where does incomplete combustion take place?

Depending on the situation I would say the most likely cause is oversaturation of the fuel or insufficient oxygen.


What affect does hydrogen fluoride have on the human body?

Hydrogen fluoride is a highly dangerous gas, forming corrosive and penetrating hydrofluoric acid upon contact with tissue. The gas can also cause blindness by rapid destruction of the corneas. Hydrogen fluoride is rarely found anywhere except at chemical processing plants where it is used for the creation of certain acids and elemental fluorine (F2), and in the production of gasoline. It does not exist naturally but is produced by a chemical reaction.

What can cause mottled tooth enamel?

A condition called dental fluorosis can cause mottling of tooth enamel. This can be developed due to a high exposure to fluoride while the teeth are still developing. Mutilation can go from tiny specks of white in the tooth enamel to widespread discoloration and browning.

Too much brushing because teeth are yellow under the enamel, coffee, Tea, carbohydrates, tetracycline antibiotics.


Is fluoride deficiency known to cause dental decay?

yes of course flouride is a material used by the body to make up tooth material the higher the flouride content the stronger the tooth (up to a level - too much flouride causes damage to teeth) thus - flouride deficiency causes teeth to be more prone to tooth decay


What does fluoride seems to be helpful in preventing?

What does fluoride seems to be helpful in preventing? Fluoride is found naturally in soil and water. However, because it is helpful in preventing tooth decay and in making teeth stronger, it is also added to water in most cities. Fluoride protects teeth from the demineralization that is caused by acid buildup in the mouth. Further, if there is already damage caused by this acid, fluoride will help strengthen the enamel and remineralize the teeth. Fluoride helps make tooth enamel more resistant to the acid that can damage the enamel and cause cavities.


Can excess fluoride in the water cause discolored enamel of the teeth?

Actually, fluoride promotes cavities to allow dentists to remain employed permanently. Not only does it discolor teeth, but if swallowed, can lead to toxicity. Fluoride is also intentionally placed in drinking water to promote sickness.Another answer:It is perfectly safe. Those that oppose it often oppose vaccinations as well. It use to thought be a toxin put into the water by Communists to poison the country back in the 1950's.


Is floride good for you?

How fluoride is useful for dental health?

Fluoride incorporates into the mineral component of teeth, hardening them and thus making them more resistant to decay. However fluoride at high doses can cause fluorosis (a permanent dark staining of teeth) and overdoses can result in toxicity. It needs to be used carefully.


How does floride protect teeth when added to toothpaste and drinking water?

Fluoride inhibits loss of minerals from tooth enamel and encourages remineralization (strengthening areas that are weakened and beginning to develop cavities). Fluoride also affects bacteria that cause cavities, discouraging acid attacks that break down the tooth. Risk for decay is reduced even more when fluoride is combined with a healthy diet and good oral hygiene.

Is toothpaste have most acid or most basics?

Toothpaste has fluoride which affects the bacteria that cause tooth decay, but its primary action is to incorporate into the tooth structure (enamel and dentin) making the tooth more resistant to acid attack by decay-causing bacteria. It actually repairs (remineralizes) the tooth enamel that gets damaged by the acid producing bacteria present in almost everyone's mouth.


Can diabetes cause a soap taste in mouth?

Diabetes doesn't usually cause this, but fluoride poisoning does -- switch to a toothpaste with less fluoride, have the fluoride levels of your water checked, and get a good physical check-up by your doctor if it doesn't go away.
