A member asked:
Could you explain why do people still consume and brush with fluoride when ada and cdc advise against it?

Bad connection: I'm not sure where you're getting your information from, but here's a link to the ada page for fluoride: http://www.Ada.Org/fluoride.Aspx doesn't seem to advise against it.

Fluoride 4 teeth: Systemic Fluoride as well as topical Fluoride is one of the best ways to help prevent cavities (other than proper brushing, flossing and a diet that does not promote tooth decay). To my knowledge, neither the ada or cdc advise not using it. Any good thing can be misused. Finally, you can find unsubstantiated reports, articles and postings on anything.
