How much is too much! No Real way to know

Simple enough, we wake up and one of the first things we do, is brush our teeth. We do this to maintain good health of our body and teeth,  but what if what you were doing was causing more harm then good?  Have you taken a moment to read the label on the box or tube of toothpaste, well if not it will look something like this;
              "WARNINGS: Keep out of reach of children under 6 years of age. If you accidentally swallow more than used for brushing, seek PROFESSIONAL HELP or contact a POISON CONTROL center immediately."

Since 1997 the FDA has mandated this warning be put on every Fluoride Toothpaste must be labeled.  I really wish we would follow the lead by the UK on many issues, here in north america we have this notion that we are most upto date and healthier then other countries, the truth is we are plain wrong, and its killing us, we are the sickest in the world.  Anyways the UK since 2005 has made it illegal to use flouride which was forced upon the people to use fluoride water, for drinking, cooking, and bathing.  When fluoride is added to water, with the intent to medicate, then that water becomes medicine. There teeth have not become worse since stopping the use of fluoride!
Susan king secretary of NAMAF, stated;
                    'There is now compelling evidence from the US that fluorides are carcinogenic linking them with bone cancer affecting young males. Water suppliers are not pharmacists! Its totally unacceptable to add a known cumulative protoplasmic poison to our tapwater. The fluoride dosing equipment must be switched off now!'
And I completely agree, one of the big reasons we get tooth decay is because of bone loss due to inadequate nutrience our bodies need.  In fact our bodys can restore our teeth, its proposed that oil pulling does reverse any tooth decay and corrects cavities, which dentists are stunned by.  However native tribes, never have these tooth decay issues because they are not ingesting our western diet, or processed, sugar laden, diet.  Its believed that the oil, for oil pulling corrects these problems because oils such as omegas and vitamins A, E, are high, and being absorbed into the body with this technique. 

Its hard to regulate just how much fluoride we are ingesting, with it in prepared foods, water, juices, canned food, pops, toothpaste, fluoride rinses.

Since my kids have been born I no longer use fluoride toothpaste, I was initally worried that my teeth would get worse, but they havent I have had no problems and either have my 2 children, I request at dentist visits that there be no fluoride rinses, and make sure to check that they use BPA Free clear fillings if you need to get that done.  I was amazed when I metioned to the dentists that I do not use fluoride, that they didnt frown upon it, all they say is fluoride helps keep your teeth strong, but I competely dissagree.  

I think its a common thing for most kids to eat toothpaste, i know i did, and i have seen my kids doing it to our non fluoride toothpaste.  If you use fluoride it should be stored away like medicine is.  My husband has Dental fluorosis, a condition caused by excessive ingestion of fluoride during the tooth forming years. It is the first visible sign that a child has been overexposed to fluoride. Dental fluorosis now impacts 32% of American children.  He said he use to eat the toothpaste from the tube, when he was little.  You can see the white patches along the front of his teeth. 

I use a great toothpaste made by a Canadian company called Green Beaver.
