Fluoride
People are resistant to using fluoride because it can create stains on our teeth. If there is a high amount of fluoride in toothpaste or water it creates a tooth weakening acid that damages them. Fluoride is also a lead to thyroid disease, cancer, heart disorder, immune system disorders, arthritis, and it makes your bones more fragile. I think putting fluoride in your drinking water is bad for all people’s health. In 1955 a company named Procter and Gamble made the first safe fluoride toothpaste. This company made a fluoride that was combatible with another substance so it would not be so dangerous to use. In 1982 they made an even safer fluoride that you can use in your toothpaste and mouthwash. It contains potassium nitrate that treats sensitive teeth. It is used in the toothpaste Colgate. Right now thanks to the Food and Drug Administration there are three safe compounds of fluoride that can be used now. They are stannous fluoride, sodium fluoride, and sodium monofluorophosphate.
