[quote=Anonymous]My 3 yo has cavities in his canine teeth that are starting to be quite visible. They don't hurt (yet). I had bad teeth too as a child, no matter how good my dental hygiene was. I would like to ask this question without turning it into a debate pro or against fluoride. Most things I read about fluoride tell me that it is generally not good for your whole body health. It may help prevent cavities, but may cause other problems if you drink fluoridated water. I understand this view is controversial but, for those of us who believe there is some truth in it, what is the alternative to protect against cavities? I make my 3 yo brush his teeth with fluoride toothpaste and rinse with fluoride too, following dentist recommendation and trying to make sure he rinses very well. But I really dont't know what this does or if it can be also be bad for him. I am interested in hearing from others ... If you think fluoride is bad, bu your teeth are bad, what do you do?[/quote]
