Midtown Dentistry Starts a Fluoride Toxicity Awareness Program
Fluoride toxicity damage to teeth is a growing concern. Midtown Dentistry -leaders in fluoride dental damage repair - joined the debate by educating its patients about the topic..................
DENTISTS ARE FIRST TO DIAGNOSE FLUORIDE TOXICITY
Dentists can see changes in teeth that indicate slow chronic toxicity. That is why they are usually the first to identify the problem. Dental fluorosis is such a finding. While the damage to teeth is usually limited to cosmetic concerns or increased decay, fluoride toxicity can result in far more serious symptoms if large amounts of fluoridated products are ingested over a short space of time. Signs of acute fluoride toxicity can include suffering from nausea, stomach pains, diarrhea and vomiting. Medical help should be sought if you discover someone in your family has ingested large amounts of fluoridated products and it is worth keeping dental products out of the reach of young children and encouraging them to spit out the excess paste rather than swallow it.
Midtown Dentistry now includes fluoride diagnosis and counseling in the patient questionnaire and have sections in the website to counsel patients on the facts.
"It is a growing concern and our patients need to be involved in their own fluoride consumption," says Dr. Jonathan Penchas, founder of Midtown Dentistry. "Fluoride treatment is still provided to certain patients on a selective basis. In general, Midtown Dentistry recommends to its patients to reduce fluoride intake. Drinking water should be fluoride free."..............
