This is one of the reasons I use a RO water filtration system in my home, and I advise my patients to do the same. I also do not use fluoride-containing toothpaste. My teeth are fine. Fluoride can have very negative effects on the endocrine system, particularly the thyroid gland.

Remember how dentists tell you that fluoride is the only thing that can rebuild your teeth?

They were lying. It's the only thing sold in America that does this, but other countries have Novamin.

It's not perfect, but it uses a strontium-based system that can bond into your teeth and appears to work reasonably well as an enamel replacement. Sensodyne makes it and sells it overseas as a solution for people with sensitive teeth.

In the states Sensodyne is not allowed to sell Novamin (dentistry lobby banned it) so instead they just sell toothpaste with a numbing ingredient. No more sensitive teeth!

Go check out Amazon, you can buy tubes of Novamin-containing toothpaste for about $5 a tube. A little expensive - but certainly better than a root canal.
