While sugar is a big contributor to tooth decay (sugar fuels cavity-causing bacteria), tooth decay can be traced to many factors beyond diet, including transmission of bacteria, lack of routine dental care, poor brushing and flossing, and inadequate exposure to fluoride. Fluoride is proven to prevent tooth decay. That's why it's in toothpaste and water.

The evidence in favor of fluoride's safety and effectiveness is overwhelming. It's irresponsible for such garbage to be spread in a one-sided manner.Wyatt Hornsbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14224514798393011001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4979545333979747089.post-51989920520112584372015-02-18T07:06:19.863-07:002015-02-18T07:06:19.863-07:00Well said.
