Is there anything you can do to strengthen the enamal on your teeth?
There are fluoride-enriched tablets you can take, and fluoride-enriched mouthwash yopu can rinse with.
If you mix Biotene rinse with a fluoride rinse like Act will they both still work for their intended purposes?
No need to Mix. I use the new ACT Total Care Dry Mouth rinse. It works on dry mouth and has fluoride. Plus it tastes better than Biotene.
Why shouldn't you eat or drink after fluoride rinse?
Fluoride becomes part of the outside layer of the teeth. This process takes about 30 minutes to complete. Avoid eating or drinking during that time so as not to interfere with the fluoride uptake.
What mouth wash is safe for kids to use?
yes their is it is called Act Liquid Anticavity Fluoride Treatment Rinse for Kids about 3$
Is it possible to get rid of a cavity without paying a visit to a dentist?
If it is an early stage (no pit/hole yet), then you just might be able to make a difference if you start practicing really good hygiene (brushing 3 times a day or after every meal), and using a fluoride rinse. Sometimes patients with braces or other certain dental/orthodontic work will get prescription only high fluoride toothpaste, and that can help.
Is there mouthwash that is not intense?
ACT fluoride rinse is great for your teeth because it helps with sensitivity and preventing cavities. Not intense at all =)
Is it safe to use water to rinse of sodium hydroxide on your body?
yes
Can you rinse your mouth with alcohol after dental surgery to speed up healing?
You can, but unless there's an infection you need to control the alcohol rinse will do more harm than good.
Can you use arm and hammer baking soda to brush our teeth with?
Yes. But it contains no Fluoride. If you want flouride for your teeth but like to brush with baking soda, you might consider a fluoride rinse aide to add to your oral hygiene routine
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.
Fluoride rinse bad for kidneys?
yes it is. I used ACT rinse for about 15 years. I developed severe back pain which I mistook for cancer or a messed up spine. I forgot to buy the rinse for a month. Pain went away. I bought some rinse and used it. The very next day the pain returned. Haven't used the rinse since and have been kidney-pain free for about 10 years.
How does whiten teeth 0.15 percent w v fluoride ion?
fluoride does not whiten your teeth. when bacteria naturally found on your teeth eat the leftover sugars in your mouth, they release acid which dissolves the enamel. when enamel rebuilds from the tooth and your saliva, it can be reformed with or without fluoride. the enamel formed with fluoride is many times stronger than the enamel without it. it has nothing to do with the color or your teeth. the whitening of your teeth can be done by abrasives such as baking soda or silica (fine sand). this grinds down the outer layer of your tooth which is what is stained the most, scrubbing away the stains while damaging the tooth. like scrubbing your dishes with baking soda to get them clean. you can also use something like hydrogen peroxide. this gets into the small pores in your teeth and gets to stains deeper within the tooth, then dissolving them away. of course, it dissolves away some of your tooth in the process. to whiten teeth, you can get an abrasive toothpaste with hydrated silica and baking soda to clean the outer layers. make sure this toothpaste has Sodium Monofluorophosphate instead of the regular Sodium Fluoride - it works better that way when calcium abrasives are present. Make sure you get a high content of it in the toothpaste, as scrubbing is damaging to your enamel and it needs to be rebuilt fast. Then use a mouthwash with hydrogen peroxide and fluoride in it to rinse. that will get deeper under the surface of the tooth. Do not rinse with water afterwards - the fluoride needs to stay on your teeth and "work" awhile. don't eat/drink a couple of hours after the rinse. You may get sensitive teeth due to all the bleaching and scrubbing. that's your body telling you you're doing so damage to the teeth. to minimize that further, you can get a high-content fluoride gel to use after the mouthwash. Colgate makes it - just get the highest %fluoride you can find. The gels will likely use Stannous Fluoride. That can damage dental work, so don't brush with it - just get it on your teeth w/o scrubbing and leave it on a minute. then spit, and don't rinse. Understand using toothpaste and rinses to whiten will take years for results. If you're looking for something more immediate, go to a dentist, pay about $80/tooth, and have them bake your teeth in hydrogen peroxide. it'll remove the stains right away.
