Why is water fluoridation wrong?
The value of fluoride-containing toothpaste to dental health is clear: fluoride is a potent chemical that kills microbes on the teeth and strengthens teeth's resistance against cavities. On the other hand, a substantial and growing body of peer-reviewed science strongly suggests that ingesting fluoride in tap water does not provide the same dental benefits as applying it directly to the teeth, and may present serious health risks. Children who drink fluoridated water are at increased risk of developing fluorosis, a defect of the permanent teeth resulting in staining and, in severe cases, substantial corrosion of the enamel. According to the Centers for Disease Control, about 30 percent of children who drink fluoridated water have some degree of fluorosis. The National Academy of Sciences has also raised concerns about fluoride exposure and bone fractures in the elderly, skeletal fluorosis, thyroid hormone disruption, and neurotoxicity (including effects on IQ). In addition, there is evidence that fluoridated water is linked to osteosarcoma, an often fatal form of bone cancer, in boys. EWG believes the evidence is clear that fluoride exposure should be limited to toothpaste, where it provides the greatest dental benefit and presents the lowest overall health risk.

How does toothpaste work?
Toothpaste serves three basic functions: 1. If it has fluoride, and most do, it serves to apply a small amount of decay-resistant fluoride to the surface of the teeth. 2. It contains a mild abrasive that 'scrubs' surface stains off the teeth. 3. It contains a breath freshener that temporarily masks bad breath. Some toothpastes contain additional ingredients such as triclosan that seems to serve some benefit for those who have gingivitis. My personal opinion: Toothpastes often can do more harm than good. How is that possible, you ask? Because of its breath freshening properties, toothpaste can make your mouth feel minty clean almost instantly - even if you have not brushed effectively. Consequently, many people do not brush long enough (min. 2-3 minutes) or effectively enough to prevent tooth decay or gingivitis. The fact is, its the brush itself that does most of the work - when it is used effectively. Brushing without toothpaste along the gumline, brushing the tongue, and rinsing with plain water can do far more in preventing decay, preventing gingivitis, and eliminating bad breath than slapping a wad of minty goo around the mouth. Here is a suggested strategy: Brush your teeth, gums, and tongue with a soft bristled brush for at least two minutes with no toothpaste, or until your mouth really feels fresh and clean. Floss your teeth. Then brush your teeth for about one minute using a fluoride-containing toothpaste. Follow that up with your favorite mouthwash.
