HOW TEETH ARE AFFECTED BY FLUORIDES AND ACIDS

March 28th, 2008 | by admin |

I think that everybody knows that fluorine is added to drinking water to prevent tooth decay and cavities. But benefits from fluorinated water are not so certain. Fluorinated water can cause dental fluorosis. Flourosis can cause brittling of teeth due to harmful action fluorides. According to some studies and surveys fluorides are also responsible for causing skeletal flourosis. Skeletal fluorosis can cause an increased rate of fractures in different bones of the body. Most commonly affected bone is hip bone. The fluorides in the water destroy the enzyme adenosine diphosphate and calcium enters the teeth which weakens the enamel. Removal of fluorides from drinking water saves adenosine diphosphate and lot of other teeth saving enzymes which means healthy enamel and no cavities.

The most common components of food and drinks which can cause tooth decay and cavities are acids. Acidic drinks and food can destroy the enamel of the teeth. You can prevent tooth decaying by rinsing the teeth with water regularly after every meal. If you want to reenamelize your teeth then it is a good idea to have calcium and phosphate rich diet. It is a misconception that bacteria destroy the enamel of the teeth. The only thing which can destroy the enamel is acidic food. One of the effective methods of rinsing acids from the teeth is brushing them with soap bar. Toothpastes are not effective in removing acids from the teeth.

If you want to have healthy teeth then you should avoid acidic food and drinks. Replace all your fizzy drinks with plenty of water as it reacts with acids. The second thing you need to do is to drink water without fluorides. Fluoride not only affects teeth but it is also a neurotoxin, carcinogen and one of the ingredients of pesticides.

    People who drink cola drinks really need to either brush often or stop drinking them. Have you ever let coke dry on a counter? The remaining color really can do a number on your teeth.
