I have flourosis which is a condition caused by too much flouride in your water, that causes your teeth to discolor and decay. (I'm sure you can find pictures with a web search.) If it does this to your teeth (calcium) what does it do to your bones (also calcium)? It has also been shown in studies that flouride can cause many conditions, including arthritis. I have switched to non-flouride toothpaste, and despite claims that flouride whitens your teeth, my teeth are whiter now that I don't use it. I bring this up because new parents especially need to beware of giving their children too much flouride, although it 'probably' is not good for any of us.
