>>524322162Brushing and flossing is fine. Dentists are scumfucks
>>524324434Yeah man I should've made another lost hating on Indians or Jews
>>524322162>Like people will die on a hill that brushing your teeth is bad causeI've never heard anyone say this ever
>>524322162i fucking hate the taste of toothpaste and how it lingers in your mouth for hours, i totally understand the bongs
>>524322162literally all you have to do is floss and brush after every meal, they even sell xylitol gums in dollar stores and walmart. Dentists are only needed if you were born with fucked up inbred teeth.
>>524324434You really shouldn't be talking
>>524325956>brush after every mealBye bye, enamel >floss after every mealBye bye, gums
>>524322162>2015+10>still using fluoride toothpaste>thinking you can "spit out" something that crosses your blood brain barrier sublinguallyhttps://youtu.be/NPdPz8nAuwU?si=c0Q6zeuHY2MzLSwh
>>524322162Fluoride embrittles.You want your teeth mad of hydroxyapatite, not that poisonous garbage.>>524326093>sublingually...how the fuck did that get in there.
>>524322162The kind of flouride the dentist uses is "stannous flouride" which is safe, protects teeth and neutralizes the acids in your mouth. This is the kind of toothpaste you want to use but it's more expensive.Sodium Flouride is what's in cheap toothpastes. We have no idea if it's safe because they just gave it a pass because it's "close enough". It also doesn't work as well, doesn't even neutralize acid in your mouth and it foams and tastes like shit because it doesn't do anything about the acid.
>>524326245If you can't afford stannous flouride toothpaste how poor are you?
Who’s an anti dentite?
>>524326215?
>>524322162Why the fuck are dentists in America so insistent on using fluoride and fluoride alone? hAP toothpaste has existed for decades with similar, if not better, results. They use fluoride because it's a convient way to get rid of a cheap, harmful byproduct steel companies used to just dump in the water. This was done under government authority, who was in bed with steel companies due to the recent world wars at the time. To cover both their asses, they dug up a 20 year old study by a local dentist who examined the teeth of children who drank that contaminated water. If you're going to ask retarded questions, at least attempt to learn the fucking history of the topic at hand, because it's pretty fucking obvious why people don't like fluoride. It's also an inferior product.
>>524326245Stannous chads unite! Down with the plebian Sodies and their sulfate ways!
>>524326446There's also sodium benzoate which isn't an industrial waste produced when manufacturing aluminum and is probably safer. Because again no studies done to determine if industrual waste from aluminum manufacturing is ok to brush with. But Sodium Benzoate also doesn't neutralize acid or protect the teeth though it does reduce tartar formation. Stannous Flouride. I just bought two tubes of Walmart brand for like $4 a piece, so it's not even that much more if you can find generic.
>>524326690As far as I'm aware of, hAP is basically the same calcium your bones use on a molecular scale. It's bioavailability allows it to adhere to the tooth to actually repair damage, both on and below the surface. Since it's calcium, it's far safer even if you swallow. It also neutralizes the bad bacteria. I buy a Japanese product called Apaguard for a hefty $15-$30 on Amazon since it's creator, Sangi, currently holds the orignal patent on hAP. I have yet to find another Swiss army knife like hAP, with xylitol gum being a backup worker after meals.
>>524326245I prefer Stannis Flouride
>>524322162No one claims brushing your teeth is bad. The debate is about the use of fluoride itself. It's been scientifically proven to lower your IQ among other things. Its only upside is cavity prevention but if you brush your teeth with just hydrogen peroxide or other toothpaste without fluoride it does the same thing without lowering your IQ. Fluoride is already in the water anyways so why does it need to be in toothpaste as well? It really doesn't make sense.
>>524322162They don't want to brush their teeth. It makes it really easy to avoid listening to them
>>524330190Yeah I'm sure if flouride was never used we'd all be geniuses
>>524330708If leaded gasoline were never used boomers wouldn't be nearly as dim.
>>524322162>but fluorideLook for toothpaste with micro- or nano-hydroxyapatite - those do not have fluoride and are much better for your tooth enamel.
>>524322162Since when have we been able to trust doctors, why do you think the same people can't trust dentists.Not a single dentist will tell you that it's okay to keep your wisdom teeth, not a single dentist will instruct you on what to eat to form a healthy jaw and make enough room for all your teeth. Dentists are scum who only want to pull teeth and tell you to fuck off after that.
>>524322162Always figured dentists were the rock bass players of doctors. BTW, some interesting stuff on root canals of late.
