I do brush my LO teeth. But the top two front ones have white marks on.

@Heather never used fluoride would never let a baby use that !
Good 🥰🥰
Can I ask why against fluoride? I use Colgate for babies...am I doing something wrong.. dentist recommended it 😬
It's a neurotoxin
@Nic I’m using fluoride toothpaste for my LG at the recommendation of my HV and dentist.
@Nic yes dentists do recommend i guess it is good for teeth but not for the body and personally that’s more important to me x like above said ‘neurotoxin’ may be good for teeth but no one can argue that it is good for us
What doses of fluoride are safe or unsafe? It states a tiny bit (less then a pea) of toothpaste should be used 2x a day. How much fluoride is that and how much is needed to be toxic. Water is toxic in the correct dose I think the amount of fluoride is minuscule and that’s why a dentist recommends it as the risks are so low and the benefits outweigh them. There is also fluoride in drinking water so I guess you may worry there as well so it does make sense it an extent. I haven’t done that much research however, these are my initial feelings. If you’re not using fluoride then I’d suggest going to the dentist so they can have a look xx
@Emma I just personally wouldn’t want my baby using that in their mouth ! Thank you will do xx
@Emma thankfully our tap water isn't fluoridated, if itnwss we wouldn't drink it
@Heather I believe that some water companies do put fluoride in the water in the UK. I think it should detail in on their website or you need to contact them and ask. It’s great that yours don’t! X
That’s fair enough @incog x
@Emma I already told you that out water supply isn't fluoridated, I have checked and do regularly check incase that changes because they don't have to make a huge announcement The next "area" over where I work they do have fluoride added and we don't use the tap water for drinking or cooking for the children either (day nursery) due to the high levels
Do you use a toothpaste with fluoride added? If so switch to a fluoride free toothpastes as fluoride can cause white spots on teeth
