Dentists use Floride on our teeth. Why? Aren't there bad things associated with floride? What are they?

Question

What can floride do if a human injests to much?

Answer 1

Fluoride incorporates itself into the tooth enamel and helps "strengthen" the tooth.

When too much fluoride is ingested, however, it can cause fluorosis. Dental fluorosis can occur in the following ways:

1. First, a child may take more of a fluoride supplement than
the amount prescribed.
2. Second, the child may take a fluoride supplement when
there is already an optimal amount of fluoride in the
drinking water.
3. Third, some children simply like the taste of fluoridated
toothpaste. They may use too much toothpaste, then
swallow it instead of spitting it out.

In severe cases of enamel fluorosis, the appearance of the teeth is marred by discoloration or brown markings. The enamel may be pitted, rough, and hard to clean. In mild cases of fluorosis, the tiny white specks or streaks are often unnoticeable.

Answer 2

Floride is important for teeth, it help streghten the enamel of the tooth and alot of water these days does not have floride in it or enough to help your teeth. Only if your injest alot of floride at a time can it make you throw-up. Especially kids. So when using floride make sure you do not swollow and use it sparingly.

Answer 3

It can eat away the stomach liner and make you sick. If you injest to much the doctors at the ER may have to pump your stomach. You are not suposed to use floride treatments on babies or use flouride toothpaste on babies. Floride helps keep cavites away and whiten teeth a little bit.

Answer 4

Flouridosis, a hardening and brittling of the bones, can occur from ingesting too much flouride -- but not at the levels added to drinking water or put on your teeth. The flouride helps keep your teeth strong and helps ward off decay. The risk has really been overblown. After all, you're not really ingesting most of what they put on your teeth. Most mainstream medical professionals would tell you the benefit far outweighs the risk.

Answer 5

they found floride to be bad bc they give lab rats 1000 times a normal dosage and wait for them to grow a tumor. its unrealistic how they test but i guess its safer than being sorry. normal usage especially not a yearly dental exam would put you into harms way.you put yourself at more risk just getting to the dentist s office
