Fluoride
1. Some people like fluoride in their water because it can prevent tooth decay by reminerlization, the process by which fluoride “rebuilds” tooth enamel that is beginning to decay. The fluoride helps teeth and since fluoride is in toothpaste people think it is safe to put in your tap water. But truly, it’s the complete opposite.Have you ever looked on the back of your toothpaste tube. It says keep away from children six and under. But it also says if swallowed please contact professional help at once. This is because fluoride can cause cancer and other harms to the human body.

2.I don’t think i would ever put Fluoride in my water. One reason being that it could do horrible things to my body. I wouldn’t put something dangerous in my water just because it could make my teeth whiter. Another reason i wouldn’t have fluoride in my water is because I already have Fluoride in my toothpaste. Some people think it is better to have fluoride in their water because brushing their teeth isn’t a habit. 
3. The first company to make a fluoride tooth paste was crest and they made it by marrying the fluoride with a compatible abrasive.Procter &Gamble was the first company to find a abrasive combination that worked, pairing stannous fluoride with calcium pyrophosphate.
4.The most important side effects to me are cancer and growth defects. I think cancer is the most important because it is very dangerous and can end up killing me. Growth defects is also very important. If a growth defect happened in your brain it could be very dangerous and would require surgery. Knowing these two side effects makes me think twice about fluoride and i would never put fluoride in my body because of the research i did.
