Personaly I brush once a day with perfect teeth at the age of 48. I know others that brush three times a day with many cavities as early as elemetry school. Tea has a trace of fluoride in it maybe just enough for healthy teeth without weakening the bones. I think it is more important to manage our diet more wisely than brushing. For a few years I didn’t bother with buying toothpaste I just used baking soda.
By 1900, a paste made of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda was recommended for use with toothbrushes. Fluoride toothpastes developed in the 1950s received the ADA’s approval. On August 1, 1960, the ADA reported that “Crest has been shown to be an effective anticavity (decay preventative) dentifrice that can be of significant value when used in a conscientiously applied program of oral hygiene and regular professional care.” In 2006 appeared in Europe the first toothpaste containing biomimetic synthetic hydroxylapatite as an effective alternative to fluoride for the remineralization and reparation of tooth enamel. In June, 2007, the US Food and Drug Administration and similar agencies in advised consumers to avoid certain brands of toothpaste manufactured in China, after some were found to contain the poisonous diethylene glycol, also called diglycol or labeled as “DEG” on the tube. The chemical is used in antifreeze as a solvent and is potentially fatal. Many items you find in your refrigerator and spice rack is found in some of your toothpaste today.
Toxicity of most toothpaste is not intended to be swallowed, and doing so may cause nausea or dierrhea; fluoride toothpaste can be either acutely toxic if swallowed in large amounts, or chronically toxic if swallowed in any amount consistently. If a large amount of toothpaste is swallowed at once, Poison Control should be contacted immediately. Extended consumption of large volumes of fluoride toothpaste can result in fluorosis.
