of brushing teeth with use
of an excellent alternative
of brush i.e. DATUN (bark

3. Fluoride is a naturally occurring component of the
environment does not mean it is good for humans to ingest.
In fact fluoride can be poisonous if ingested,
especially in large quantities, that is why toothpaste
containers with fluoride in them have a warning to contact
the poison control if ingested.
Many clinicians share a concern that fluoride may play a
role in the all too common symptoms of low thyroid function
such as fatigue, weight gain, cold hands and feet, dry skin,
irregular bowel function and brain fog.
The increase in the amount of fluried will affect the health
of teeth and bones as well. Studies find that detergents such
as sodium loriel phosphate adds for spumes in pastes may
cause to problems in mouth. The polishing agents in pastes
may cause to acidulous of teeth. It is happened because of
the destruction of enamel.
