The Truth About Fluoride
In this week's excerpt from Lessons from the Miracle Doctors, Jon Barron reveals the truth about what fluoride can and cannot do for your teeth. 
"I have actually heard some dentists argue that your tooth enamel is made of fluoride, which is why adding fluoride to your toothpaste and drinking water helps. They are misinformed. Tooth enamel is actually composed of calcium phosphate. The more accurate explanation for how fluoride theoretically helps is that the fluoride bonds with the calcium phosphate, making it harder and more resistant to decay. So, is the theory true? Does fluoride work? There's no question that since fluoridation began, the incidence of dental caries has decreased significantly in the United States. But as we've seen, it's gone down throughout the country, even in areas that don't fluoridate their water. In fact, there is no good statistical evidence that fluoride (either in your water or in your toothpaste) makes one iota of difference in terms of dental health. All of the improvement in dental health that we have seen in the United States can easily be attributed to better dental hygiene (brushing and flossing), not fluoridation.
Finally, fluoride levels in your blood can double within five minutes of brushing your teeth with a fluoride toothpaste, just from the amount absorbed through the cheeks and gums. The amount absorbed in a dentist's office from a fluoride treatment is several orders of magnitude higher."
