The same thing has happened to me, Tina. A man at my church was giving me a similar pitch, and I just said that I had faith in my doctors and walked away. I also had a former co-worker tell me that fluoride was poison when I was talking about using the trays. So, I just told her that I trusted my dentist. Sometimes, that's all you can do!
