Hi folks,

I do not want to make a big (as in paranoid) deal but floride is fairly toxic if ingested. My suggestion is that we be particularly careful about even small quantities being swallowed.

Many of the OTC products we have been talking about weren't intended to be used daily. I am worried that the prescription versions are stronger and therefore even more care should be excercised.


Also Stannous Floride is listed as a potential carcinogen, and the debate about the effects both good and bad about Floride in general, gives me cause to be extra super cautious.

I don't want this to turn into our own version of debate, but if you look around (and skip the radical sites) you will find some interesting information on floride, especially floridated water, out there.

Happy teeth! laugh
