Is Fluoride Mouthwash Safe?

Over the years an enormous amount of research and study has gone into the use of fluoride mouthwash. With most community water treatment plants adding this chemical to the drinking water of the public at large, many scientists and concerned citizens have wondered if perhaps too much of this chemical is being delivered to people.

The simple answer to that question is yes.

As with everything in life, too much of a good thing can be harmful to our health. This seems to be especially true with fluoride mouthwash. You may not know it, but this chemical can cause:

• Osteoporosis
• Brittle tooth enamel
• Joint problems
• Can cause discoloration in teeth
• And a host of other health problems

With this many issues associated with this chemical you might wonder why the big brands of toothpaste and mouthwash continue to add this chemical to their products. The reason is marketing. They believe that if the general public is told they need something, like more fluoride, in order to have more attractive and health teeth, the public will believe them. Generally, the public does.

But you do not have to be fooled by this marketing ploy any longer, and you certainly do not have to continue ingesting this dangerous chemical through the oral hygiene products that you must use on a daily basis. You now have a choice.

You can choose to use an all-natural product that does not contain this chemical or any of the other substances, such as sugar, alcohol, or sugar substitutes, that can increase bad breath or cause health problems for your oral care. By avoiding fluoride mouthwash products altogether you can significantly reduce your expose to this harmful chemical. Products such as OraMD® can be a good first step in helping your family maintain good oral hygiene while at the same time protecting them from the harmful and often long-lasting ill effects of fluoride overdose.

You must consider your family first. Mouthwash should be safe, not dangerous. You can decrease your risk and still maintain a high level of oral protection by using products that contain the essential oils of peppermint, spearmint, and almond.

Many of the all-natural mouthwashes available today can also be very effective as an antibacterial mouthwash. They are very good at destroying the bacteria that causes bad breath and gum disease, so why not try one? Your family will be happy that you did.
