The first toothpaste with fluorine was manufactured in the USA in 1914 when during the numerous researches it was revealed that this substance participates in creation of bone cages and a firm basis of teeth. Today the debate on expediency of its application erupted with a new force as it was revealed that the surplus of fluorine is fraught with fragility of bones, and still it is very toxic.
Why in toothpaste fluorine?
Today such connections as fluorides actively add to composition of toothpastes for prevention of caries. The fluorine ions which got to saliva fall by the surface of teeth, settling in microscopic cracks of enamel. Thanks to their ability to contact other minerals, and, above all calcium, firm connection, remineralizing teeth and the content of minerals restoring in them is formed. The advantage of fluorine in toothpaste is in and that such hard coating resists to influence of acids, but there is more to come.
Fluorides break course of biochemical processes during which there is a synthesis of acids from sugars which is carried out by bacteria. As a result the content of acids in an oral cavity decreases, and teeth collapse less. Today many countries carry out fluoration of water in the state, and such procedure as a ftoroterapiya during which the surface of teeth is covered with the gel enriched with fluorides is distributed in dental clinics.
Advantage and harm of fluorine in toothpaste
The famous producer of the Air Force and the journalist Christopher Bryson wrote the book "Fluorine — Big Deception" in which the main idea concerning that it is favorable to U.S. Government to add fluorine to toothpaste stands out because such connection is industrial waste by production of metal and thus the issue of its utilization is just resolved. There is an opinion that in enrichment with fluorine of drinking water there is no need because these connections and so in it are present at enough. Besides, the person receives fluorine and with food.
Than fluorine in toothpaste is harmful - the surplus of this substance in an organism can cause the most various diseases – intoxication, brain hypostasis, mental disorders, fragility of bones and so forth. But it only on condition of too frequent oral cavity care by such paste and use of its excess quantity. Inhabitants of those regions in which water is poor on fluorine cannot be afraid of harm of fluorine in toothpaste if to use it from time to time.
