Do water filters remove floride and cause more cavities?

If you use a water filter pitcher on a regular basis for drinking, will it remove the floride and cause cavities in your teeth?

Do water filters remove floride and cause more cavities?
Water filters do not remove fluoride. In fact, coca colas and other soft drinks all contain this dangerous chemical because they use tap water and filters to create soft drinks. Aso beers made in America like Budweiser, etc. contain fluoride because they use huge amounts of tap water to create beer.





Secondly, fluoride only makes teeth harder and more difficult to work on. By making the tooth harder it makes cavities more difficult to form. The problem that causes cavities still exists, nutrient deficiencies (particularly minerals). The fluoride does other things that are far more damaging to the body than a few cavities. The cavities can be prevented with good nutrition. Don't look to your dentist to educate you on good nutrition. They have no clue on what to do in that regard. They only will tell you the fluoride is what you need.





Fluoride competes in the body for iodine absorption. When fluoride is introduced into the water system, it creates iodine deficiencies in children and adults that consume the garbage water. Iodine is a necessary ingredient in all our organs, including skin. Only about 3% of the iodine ingested goes to the thyroid; the rest ends up in our organs that keeps them working well. When this was discovered, iodized salt was introduced. This only put a small bandage on the problem and now our children are not well because of this.





Fluoride is one of the most, if not the most poisonist substances known for human beings. It was used to create the Atomic Bomb. Even the American Dental Association says to keep Fluoridated toothpaste out of the reach of children. Just look on the toothpaste warning labels.





Many cultures in the world do not have tooth decay that do not use this garbage. It is just another example of how big money and the ignorance is being promoted in this country to sell something that is going to band aid a problem with the nutrition in our foods and then create other problems that are far worse.





If you use fluoride products, do this test to see if you are deficient in iodine. Paint a golf ball size spot of "Tincture of Iodine" on your chest. Note the time of day. Now, it should be there 24 hours later if you are NOT deficient. If you are deficient, your body will absorb the iodine at a very fast rate.





No wonder we have such an increase in thyroid problems. Combining the use of SOY products that slow the thyroid down and inhibit mineral absorption with fluoride, out bodies just don't have a chance in having a normal thyroid as we grow older.





Get rid of all Fluoride in anything you use. It is found in nature and is absorbed by some foods from the soil naturally. It is supposed to be a trace mineral, not a main mineral for the body. Also, do not use any products that contain Laurel Sulfate. This opens the pores and allows absorption of the Fluoride and other harmful chemicals into the body that creates toxins the body has to eliminate.





Good luck to you
Reply:not really..


eventhough fluride protects enamel ,please dont solely depend on it.properbrushing teq. also helps.


since flurides anr in ionic form in water ,cna filters prevent it? idont think
Reply:Yes, some water filters do remove large amounts of fluoride, but not all filters do. Reverse-osmosis and distillation filters are the worst I believe, and most pitcher-style filters don't remove much fluoride, but I would do some research on your particular brand of filter to make sure it isn't.





The removal of fluoride won't actually cause cavities in your teeth, you just won't have the protection against cavities that fluoride gives. Because fluoride helps to remineralize the enamel on your teeth, not having fluoride will mean that your teeth aren't as strong. People with more fluoride get fewer cavities. If you brush your teeth regularly with fluoride toothpaste, you probably get enough fluoride, but if you are concerned, your dentist can prescribe you fluoride supplements. Don't believe those who tell you that fluoride is a poison -- at the level that is used in drinking water, fluoride is perfectly safe, and you definitely don't want to be filtering it all out!

Would common antacids help neutralize the acid that plaque produces and causes cavities?

Cavities are caused by the acid which bateria produce in your mouth. So would eating a antacid like a Rolaid neutralize that acid and protect your teeth?

Would common antacids help neutralize the acid that plaque produces and causes cavities?
While this is true, there is no substitute for toothpaste and a toothbrush. Toothpaste contains baking soda which also neutralizes acid along with the bristles of a toothbrush reaching all areas and causing direct abrasive contact. Antacids will not give you all this. Since antacids are ingested, if overused you can cause an acid base balance disturbance. Acid is needed in the body and with too much alkalinity you can cause metabolic alkalosis, throwing your body into a range of problems. Antacids should be used for reflux and as indicated by it's label and used cautiously
Reply:no...antacids neutralize acid in ur stomach...not ur mouth. the acids that harm teeth r really only caused by sugar (which is y candy is so bad 4 u) so if u eat a lot of sugar...just brush ur teeth
Reply:Most antacids have sugar in them. My dentist told me if I need to take one in the middle of the night I should brush.

Can black spots on your teeth hurt and not be cavities?
those are cavities....





he's waiting until those cavities become such a problem that u need root canals





go to anotha dentist and get them filled
Reply:Did they take X-Rays? I don't know what dentist you go to, but is sounds like cavities to me.
Reply:They are probably cavities. You should go to another dentist and get an opinion and get x-rays done. It also may be past filled cavities. In the older days they used black fillings or silver fillings in cavities. They were not to good back then so they may be sensitive. Either may go back to a dentist. I hope this helps.
Reply:they are definitely cavities cuz i have a few of those too.. u shud get a second opinion cuz that doesnt make sense to have black spots on ur teeth that are sensitive and hurt..sorry to say but i think he is definitely wrong you shud see a different dentist

How Much Pain Is There To Have Cavities Filled Without Anesthetics?

My uncle hates injections and as a result he gets his cavities filled with no anesthesia. Since some people can go through it, how much pain really is there?

How Much Pain Is There To Have Cavities Filled Without Anesthetics?
It depends on how deep the cavity is - if the nerve is exposed, it could be pretty painful, but if it's just a surface cavity, it doesn't hurt that bad. I had root canal without anything (the nerve was already dead - so there was no feeling) - I, of course, freaked out when the dentist came at me with drill in hand and he hadn't given me anything yet. He said to trust him, I did and it was fine.
Reply:I have not used anesthesia for cavities since I was 10. Not because I hate needles, but because I hate being numb. A couple of the deep ones have hurt a little but the pain only lasts a couple seconds because the drill is close to the nerve. Once the deeper drilling is over, it never hurts. At least for me.





If you have a higher pain tolerance, then its no biggie but if you cry when you get a paper cut, stick with the anesthesia. Most dentists think I'm crazy but its really worth not having my face numb for 2 hours.
Reply:Filling a cavity involves little or no pain as we're simply filling a hole with composite material.What Is painful is drilling out decayed tooth tissue and this must be done using local anasthetic.

Went to the dentist today. Do you think these are cavities? More details included?!?!?

So I went to the dentist today, but yesterday, they called and told me that the dentist was sick, and wouldn't be there, but I just said that I'd be fine with them cleaning my teeth, and coming back later for the dentist to examine my teeth thoroughly, and such.





While she was cleaning my teeth, the dental hygienist said that she saw what looked to her to be 3 BIG cavities, all on my bottom set of molars. Do you think these are really cavities? I asked her if she could see any on the top, and all she said was that on the xrays it looked like maybe 2, but she couldn't see any when she was cleaning. The dentist is gonna look for sure when I go back, but she said that she could see them with her naked eye. Do you think she knows what she was looking at?

Went to the dentist today. Do you think these are cavities? More details included?!?!?
Well I'd say she probably has more idea than the general public, but at the same time she's not a dentist. However, if she says she can see 3 cavities with her naked eye, then that means they are BIG cavities - and you should be able to see them too. So grab a torch and go to the mirror and have a look - you see any holes in your teeth? Even tiny ones?





I went to the dentist once with what I thought was a small cavity in my tooth - I could see this small hole. He told me that any time you can actually see a hole in the tooth, it is a BIG cavity, and when he did the x-rays it confirmed that the cavity was really big.





So if there are any visible holes at all in your teeth, then they are pretty big cavities, and the dental hygienist has seen enough cavities in her life to spot the big ones I would have thought.





At the end of the day though, all you can do is wait until you see the dentist to find out for sure.
Reply:She knows what she is looking at but it is the dentist who must diagnose decay. So don't sweat it and go back and have the dentist do the proper examination.
Reply:Legally a hygenist is not allowed to give you a prognosis, so i'd ignore her. It could be that your teeth are a bit discoloured or maybe you have tiny cavities. Don't worry unil you know for sure, try and relax. If they are you'll get them fixed dont worry
Reply:Yes, I'm sure she does know what she's looking at. I mean, possibly if she's really young and new, like maybe 23 or 24, then maybe she wouldn't be as sure. Though even then I'd be inclined to think that she knew what she was talking about.





Anyhow, if the hygienist can see them than you most certainly can see them. Look back there... are there any small black,brown,light brown or tan holes?





Really, it's nothing to worry about. So what if you do have a few cavities? I'm assuming that if you're at a dentist you've dental insurance and hopefully your dentist is a good one. You shouldn't feel much pain at all and these days they usually use porcelain fillings so they're less noticeable.





Relaaaaax. You'll see your dentist soon and hopefully all your questions will then be answered!





Happy Holidays.
Reply:Well there's really no way any of use are going to be able to know without even having an inkling as to what the "cavities" look like. Maybe they are, maybe they're not, but your dentist can say for sure. If they are, just get them taken care of and take good care of your teeth.
Reply:She knows what she is talking about she can't diagnose but she can tell by looking at the x-rays. Even I as a dental for 15 yrs could read x-rays. Or see decay if large enough with the naked eye. She can only tell you that she sees some suspicious areas and advise you to have the Doctor tell you what they are.
