Solidified Fluoride Coated on teeth by Dentist!

[infin8_possibility]

Hey!

Years ago I went to the dentitst and he put some sort of thick white liquid, that set hard at the back and innerds of some of my teeth telling me it was FLUORIDE.

There is a little amount still left on some of my teeth and I'm concerned about the health implications. Possibly bits crumbling off and being ingested as well as it being consumed into bloodstream from the gums.

I've tried scraping it all off with a knife without much success. I will try and find a more effecient tool but really I dont want to do myself a mis-hap and hack a tooth off or something, but at the same time I don't really want to go to the fluoride worshipping dentists.

Anyone else had any experience's like this or any suggestions how to get the stuff off!?

Dude, stop panicking, You have an immune system. We're talking about such a small quantity of flouride that it's trivial. And you said it's stuck to your teeth, so what? If it chips off, the body will eliminate it. We're not talking about mercury here, where the situation is that even a spec of mercury filling is dangerous.

They used the same stuff on my white fillings, the flouride stuff you mentioned. It was only after the fact that I found out. But I doubt it causes any harm.

I was a dental nurse for many years.As the previous poster said don't panic
the amount of fluride is very small,it will wear away in a relativly short time.
But make sure you let the dentist know that you will not have any fluride treatment in future.the fluride in these fillings is small.The main problem is the fact it's in toothpaste and our water system,i recommend using bicarb of soda to brush with and floss at the end of the day.if after eating you rinse your mouth with water(bottled) you decrease the need for filling's.
Mercury is a big problem, even when the fillings are taken out the mercury gives off poisenous vapour.I could'nt continue to work in the profession after looking at all the evidence.mouthwash is one of the biggest causes of oral cancer and should never be used.
I hope this helps.

Thanks or the reply comma. I used to have mercury fillings but they disappeared over time, maybe I swallowed them. Is that a problem?

Well it's not ideal to swallow them,but no harm done because they would be a solid mass the mercury is mixed with silver alloy,they will pass naturaly.
We swallow more when our fillings are done,all despite the suction and swilling out of the mouth it's best to stay away from silver filling's as they known in the trade.
The downside of that is the cost white (fluoride fillings) are more expensive,
Most dentist's charge a private fee for them because the only teeth that qualify for white are the front four they are and can be done on the NHS.

That's a problem. Are you experiencing stomach discomfort and such?
