Diet and Caries: Evidence-Based Nutrition for Preventing Tooth Decay
I have never seen fluoride stop active tooth decay in my dental practice. I have seen nutrition change teeth dramatically, quickly, and positively, while I have watched fluoride ruin teeth [and health] many times. I adhere to the assumption that dental disease can be corrected with good nutrition, e.g., wholesome food. Today there is so much misunderstanding in the field of nutrition that truth is difficult to find. One study cites benefit and safety of fluoride, while another study finds it to be mutagenic and dangerous. Fluoride is not a "necessary evil," because 1) it has little or no benefit, 2) it did not exist for primitives thousands of years ago, and 3) we can improve teeth without it by using nutrition. So why promote it?
