Is fluoride in toothpaste bad or good for you? confused?
I just watched that movie "the beautiful truth" about cures for cancer. they made flouride and almost all dental treatments out to be "evil". I was thinking about it and wondering if i should switch to a organic toothpaste that does not contain flouride. I just LOVE the toothpaste I use though (arm and hammer advance white)….and afraid I will get a cavity if I do not use flouride (i have never had many cavities). Anybody have more info about this issue?
I just looked at my city’s water data online. My water has .90 detectable flouride in it…is this too high? too low? I dont drink it…I drink bottle spring water. I also have a house water filter (connected to a the water heater)…but not sure if this cleans out flouride or not. Gosh, this movie has made me paranoid.

Does UltraBrite whitening toothpaste work?
I have been using it for about 5 weeks now, but i’m not summaryely sure. I brush every day and night and after each meal. I bought two tubes of UltraBrite, and I’m almost done with the first one. And I don’t really see a huge difference. It did get a little whiter, but only by about 1 shade…how long do I have to use this product until I start seeing results? Any other recommendations? Thanks!
