(Masters degree in organic chemistry here)

Floride forms an bond through an exchange of surface ions with tooth enamel. ....essentially forming a sacrificial layer over your teeth and preventing erosion from acids in the food you eat.

So floride is very good for your teeth.....

On the other hand. ....floride even I small amounts is toxic to all other cells in your body.....fluoride that makes it to the lower GI has been implicated in colon cancer....

Bottom line for me ? I use a floride toothpaste. ...a spot about the size of a pea....that's really all I takes to gain the cavity protection. .....I'm careful not to swallow any of it....and I rinse well and spit the residue out....

Take this for what you think its worth....
