The Speaker Says :

Why do dentist recomend Fluoride? Because it brings them more costomers. Look up fluoride dangers in Google before you consider giving your child this toxic posion.

If you want you and you kids to have good teeth, have near no refined sugar and less Starches in your diet and adults no smoking and less coffee too. Also brush teeth after meals, without fluodated toothpaste, buy the natural stuff.
