Is it possible to do fluoride treatments at home,
with a pharmaceutical kit? My teeth have been
disintegrating for several years, I'd like to retard
the process, if possible. A dental cleaning every
9 months doesn't seem effective enough...

Ask your dentist if you are a candidate for the high fluoride
prescription gels such as Prevident or Gel-kam, or fluoride varnish
(Duraphat).

Are these controlled substances? Why?

They are by prescription only, but not "controlled" in the sense of DEA
control.

Do some research.


1) National Research Council: Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA)
fluoride standards are unsafe

2) Harvard Study: Fluoridation associated with bone cancer in boys

3) Too much fluoride can damage the developing brain

4) Infant fluoride exposure linked to permanent tooth discoloration

5) Kidney patients at risk of chronic fluoride poisoning

6) Cornell scientist diagnoses fluoride poisoning in horses drinking
fluoridated water

7) Fluoride exposure linked to kidney damage in children

8) Water fluoridation linked to higher blood lead levels in children from
old homes

9) Dental fluorosis linked to tooth decay & psychological stress

10) Water fluoridation & the "Precautionary Principle"
