    ·Most of us begin our day with brushing our teeth by using some brand of toothpaste or tooth powder.· That can be the our first action of poisoning ourselves every morning.· For many, it can also be the last action of poisoning their bodies every nightwith the toxic chemicals present in almost all the dentifrices.
·There are many dangerous chemicals, besides fluoride, that are put in the toothpastes.·Most of the toxic chemicals are not even listed on the tubes of toothpastes.·The chemicals of a toothpaste are absorbed by the teeth, gums, mucous membranes of the mouth, and also other parts of the gastro-intestinal tract due to some toothpaste getting swallowed along with the saliva, especially by the small children.·The toxic chemicals ingested from toothpastes can cause poisoning of the teeth, bones, blood, muscles, nerves, and other parts of the body.·Over a period of months and years, the whole body of the user is adversely affected

LIST OF TOXIC CHEMICALS USED IN TOOTHPASTES

· The end user expects a tooth paste to meet the needs for proper dental hygiene.

· They expect that it will protect the teeth from decay, help fight dental plaque and protect from gum diseases.

· This makes some wonder, whether it is safe to put those dangerous chemicals in our mouth every day twice a day.

· Let us have a look at the chemicals these toothpastes contain and their harmful effects on the body

· Triclosan
· Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda)
· Detergents
· Binding agents
· Humectants
· Artificial flavouring
· Artificial colors
· Preservatives such as Methylparaben and Ethylparaben
· Pyrophosphate
· Potassium nitrate
· Lauryl sarcosinate
· Polyethylene glycol
· Polypropylene glycol
· Sodium saccharin/aspartame
· Flouride has a proved ability to prevent cavities
· Most toothpaste brands use Sodium Fluoride (NaF). The main ingredient in toothpaste and rat poison.

· FLUORIDE, THE SILENT KILLER
· FLUORIDE AFFECTS THE DNA REPAIR MECHANISM

· Babies exposed to fluoride are at high risk of developing - a permanent tooth defect caused by fluoride damaging the cells which form the teeth
· Some brands use Sodium Monofluorophosphate.

· The concentration of Fluoride in pastes for adults is 1000 to 1450 ppm maximum.

· Unless it says on the package does not contain fluoride, you are using fluoridated toothpaste.

· Fluoridated toothpaste contains 1,000 ppm fluoride.

· There is enough fluoride at 1,000 to 1,500 parts per million to kill a small child if they consume the entire tube.

· If a child consumes just part of it, it could result in either acute or chronic toxicity.

· A four to six year-old child will swallow 25 to 33% of the toothpaste they put on their toothbrush.

· Fluoride actually causes gum damage at the concentrations used in fluoridated toothpaste at 1,000 ppm.

· Fluoride poisons enzyme activity and slows down the ability of the gums to repair them. If you brush your teeth with fluoridated toothpaste, you will suffer gum damage.

· Fluoride may damage the developing brain, causing learning deficits and other problems

· Risk to the thyroid gland, bone cancer, kidney patients

· Toothpastes usually contain bactericidal agents as Triclosan that kills bacteria.
