is sodium fluoride in drinking water dangerous?

Question

If sodium floride is a hazardous waste bi-product- why would they put in our drinking water?

Answer 1

No: Too low dosage to cause any problems. It does have a good effect on reducing the incidence of tooth deay, but that is all it does as per research.

Answer 2

That depends on dose: That depends on dosage. Optimally fluoridated water (0.7ppm) and/or a little above is perfectly safe and beneficial to our teeth. Dosages between 1.5-3 ppm (naturally found in some water in the midwest) can cause dental fluorosis. Dosages between 3-10 ppm (naturally found in some water in china, india & russia) are dangeruos and can cause skeletal fluorosis.

Answer 3

No: When your water breaks early, before 34-35 weeks, you will be given medication to stop labor. Unless there is an infection present, in which case it is better to deliver the baby, you may be able to stay pregnant until 34-36 weeks. Labor is allowed to occur or is induced at that point.

Answer 4

What did your doc sa: Your doc should have already outlined the treatment plan for you and you should be in the hospital until u deliver, u need to be watched closely because if u show any evidence of endometritis you will need to be delivered right away, all your questions form this point should be directed to your doc and all should be answered by your doc since your doc knows your situation.

Answer 5

Yes: Stick to community-based fluoridated water or Fluoride toothpaste. I do not believe you have to do more than these options. Furthermore, these two options have been shown to decrease tooth decay.

Answer 6

I say NO: It is my personal opinion to not take any supplements that are not cruicial for the baby's development. Studies on Fluoride for children show the benefits of Fluoride but measuring the benefits of Fluoride for a baby in the womb is more questionable and more risky. Personally i wouldn't take Fluoride during pregnancy but am open to look at any studies arguing otherwise. I wouldn't take it.

Answer 7

Yes: Yes, the Fluoride you get from toothpaste and fluoridated water is very safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. You do not need to take any additional Fluoride during your pregnancy or while breast feeding. The Fluoride you get in water and toothpaste is plenty.

Answer 8

Yes: Yes it is safe to drink water with Fluoride in it and to use toothpaste and other topical Fluoride products like mouthwash while pregnant and/or breast feeding.

Answer 9

Yes: Fluoridated drinking water and Fluoride toothpastes are controlled at a a safe level. Less controllable are Fluoride supplements. Your child's permanent teeth begin forming in utero, so measured amount of Fluoride is helpful. Talk to your ob/gyn and your dentist about Fluoride levels in your communities water.

Answer 10

Not advisable: Water pills are given for too much fluid accumulating in your lungs or legs due to heart or kidney problems. Generally the fluid that pregnant women get in their legs is due to pressure on their leg veins or to preeclampsia. Neither problem can be solved with water pills. Taking water pills can lead to dehydration, low blood pressure and poor milk production.

Answer 11

Can be other causes: Dizziness with exercise doesn't just happen with inadequate hydration. If a person is well hydrated, and still gets dizzy, her doctor can evaluate. Sometimes there are circulation problems, such as not enough blood flow to the brain under certain conditions or activities. There can be heart problems, or not enough red blood cells (anemia), etc...

Answer 12

Get checked : Dizziness post exercise requires an examination. You should schedule this asap. I would back off any vigorous exercise until then. You may have a cardiovascular issue. Good luck.

Answer 13

I don't see a problm: I can't see any evidence that this material would leach into your body & bother baby. I wouldn't drink any unless you want to get the runs.

Answer 14

Yes: It is safe and possibly even beneficial.

Answer 15

Epsom Salt: (magnesium sulfate) is the major ingredient in bath salts, and is also safe when properly taken by mouth as a laxative, or even as injection in some cases such as eclampsia.
