The regular cleaning of the teeth is indispensable for their health. But what exactly is to do to keep teeth and gums really free from dangerous bacteria? Finally, they are responsible for the development of caries, periodontal disease and periodontal disease - and thus also in the worst case for tooth loss. Is the use of synthetic tooth creams and antibacterial mouthwashes really necessary, or is it not more sensible to re-establish the previously healthy oral flora through natural dental care, which means that teeth, gums and health as a whole benefit equally?

It's nearly everywhere:  in our water, mouth rinses, and now toothpastes.  Fluoride has been the go-to chemical for cavity prevention for over 50 years.  Now, however, the Center for Disease Control warns that the chemical may be too prevalent.  Too much fluoride may lead to serious oral health problems including hidden caries and fluorosis.

A new study released by the Wall Street Journal indicates that Miami dental professionals have been on-target with their anti-fluoride stance. The chemical is shown to cause fluorosis in children, a streaking and unnatural hardening of tooth enamel. Join the Miami Dentist Blog for this exclusive on fluoride products, how to identify fluorosis, and ways to avoid getting too much of this dangerous chemical.
