Most toothpastes available in the market today promote fluoride that is supposed to prevent tooth decay. Sadly, majority of consumers fall for it. Fluoride is an industrial waste chemical that has been deceivingly and incorrectly called "fluoride". It is inorganic, very toxic, and more poisonous than lead.
Swallowing half a tube of toothpaste can even kill a child !! The absorption of Fluoride is cancerous and will lead to increased hip fractures, osteoporosis, arthritis and even brain damage. Another harmful ingredient in toothpaste is sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) which is just a foam-building substance which is unnecessary. It is an industrial degreaser that may even be cancer-causing.
Dental fluorosis is a discoloration of tooth enamel that can occur if a person is exposed to too much fluoride. Extended exposure to high fluoride levels can also lead to bone weakening, gastric problems, allergic reactions and skeletal fluorosis, symptoms being joint stiffness and pain. Even death can result if someone consumes too much fluoride, like when small children consume an entire tube of tooth paste. Symptoms of such incidents will include nausea, vomiting blood, diarrhea, stomach pain, salivation, watery eyes, general weakness, shallow breathing, tiredness, faintness and convulsions. The toxicity arises when fluoride anion combines with with the calcium ions in our blood to form insoluble calcium fluoride, resulting in hypocalcemia; since calcium is indispensable for the function of the nervous system, this condition can in fact be fatal.
I recommend switching over to organic natural toothpastes without fluoride and SLS
