“What is That Stuff Flouride”?
Some people disaprove of adding fluoride to drinking water because of the damages it can cause. Too much fluoride can cause brown stains on your teeth and pits can be formed. Even naturally fluoridated water can have to much fluoride. The people of Colorado Springs all had brown teeth because of this. So, you have to be careful with the amounts of fluoride in your drinking water.
I would definately be for the fluoridation of water. It is obvious that in small amounts, fluoride is harmless to your teeth, in fact it is very good for them. Fluoride prevents cavaties and other harmful things like tooth decay. In the allowed amounts, fluoride is nothing but beneficial and there is no reason to not use it.
Technological advances had to be made in tooth paste before fluoride could be added to it because fuoride is so reactive. So, they made changes so that the fluoride would not react. Some of these changes were altering Ph levels and also changing ingredients in the tooth paste.
For me the most concerning side affect of fluoride is your teeth turning brown. Although small amounts of fluoride are harmless, too much could do this to you. It scares me that there can be naturally an unsafe level of fluoride lin water ike there was in Colorado Springs. Fluoride can hurt your teeth, so you must be careful.
