What Is Fluoride?

Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that has long been added to drinking water and dental products due to its purported benefits for preventing tooth decay. It works by hardening the outer layer of tooth enamel, making it more resistant to acids produced by bacteria. As a result, fluoride has become a common ingredient in toothpaste, mouthwash, and even some dental treatments.

However, while fluoride is often praised for its cavity-fighting properties, it is not without controversy. Concerns have grown over potential health risks associated with excessive fluoride exposure, ranging from dental fluorosis to more systemic issues affecting overall health. At Rejuvenation Dentistry, we prioritize biologic approaches that support oral health without compromising the well-being of the whole body.

The Risks of Fluoride Exposure

Despite its widespread use, fluoride has been linked to several potential health risks that challenge its safety and necessity in modern dental care. At Rejuvenation Dentistry, we believe in minimizing these risks by providing fluoride-free solutions that are safe, effective, and aligned with your body’s natural healing processes. Fluoride exposure can cause the following risks:

Dental Fluorosis: Overexposure to fluoride, especially in children, can cause discoloration and damage to developing tooth enamel, leading to white spots or staining.
Skeletal Fluorosis: Long-term fluoride consumption may affect bone health, causing pain, stiffness, and an increased risk of fractures.
Neurological Concerns: Emerging research suggests that excessive fluoride exposure may have neurotoxic effects, particularly in young children, potentially impacting cognitive development.
Systemic Absorption: Once ingested, fluoride is absorbed into the bloodstream and can accumulate in tissues, raising concerns about its impact on overall organ health.

Fluoride-free dentistry is a cornerstone of our biologic approach, which prioritizes treatments that are non-toxic and holistic. Instead of relying on fluoride, we focus on natural methods to protect your teeth and strengthen enamel without introducing potentially harmful chemicals into your system. This approach not only supports oral health but also safeguards your overall wellness—ensuring long-term vitality and balance.
