Why choose fluoride-free toothpastes

There are many fluoride toothpastes on the market. Until recently, such dental cleaners were considered very useful and very beneficial. But lately, experts advise to give up such pastes, since an excess of fluoride is dangerous to health.

Benefits of a fluoride-free toothpaste

The presence of fluoride in the body is very important for human health. This chemical element is especially needed in childhood and adolescence, when there is a rapid development of teeth and the formation of their enamel. The lack of this substance causes caries and fragility of bone tissue. Fluoride does not enter the human body with food. Therefore, the need for it is met by the use of toothpastes.

At the same time, it should be taken into account that the human need for health in this substance is very low. Fluoride compounds are found in water used for cooking and drinking. The chemical element accumulates in the body and is deposited in bone tissue, thyroid cells and teeth. With an excess of fluoride, individual hormones cease to be produced, and the respiratory and nervous system malfunctions.

Therefore, to prevent the accumulation of fluorine, it is necessary to give preference to means for cleaning teeth, in which the most natural composition. They contain alternative germicidal and cleaning agents:

• Calcium.
• Baking soda.
• Silicon.
• Propolis.
• Tea tree oil.
• Mirra.

It makes sense to use such toothpastes in those regions of the country where there is a lot of fluoride in tap water. These include the Moscow region, the Tver region, the Urals, the western part of Siberia, the Tambov region.
