Im a mum of 2 children and what flouride levels i should be looking for in their toothpaste

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009
Q.
Hi I am a mum of 2 young children (one 4 years and one 11 months) and am confused about what flouride levels I should be looking for in their toothpaste. The british dental assos website says that children under 3 should be using a toothpaste with 1000ppm of flouride and the over 3 one with between 1350 and 1500ppm however I noticed that the Colgate Smiles product only has 500ppm and other websites say to use a non-flouride product. HELP

I think the Colgate Smiles one… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I didnt brush for 2 year and now the damage has been done how can i sort it out?

Saturday, July 11th, 2009
Q.
Hello. Ive had some really bad experiences with dentists in the past. My first dentist a liked to remove teeth for the fun of it (at the age of 5) and it terrified me. As my teeth grew back one of my front teeth started to grow outwards and as a result i had low confidence and couldn’t interact socially. At the age of 14 i went to an NHS dentist who fitted me with braces. I had them for 4 years he seemed to be fixing them but at the age of 18 he just said he wasn’t getting paid any more and thus just removed the brace and that was it. He left me with cement on my teeth and my tooth has come back out again. At the point i just gave in and stopped brushing. Didn’t brush them for 2 years and now the damage has been done. I’m so ashamed of them, i don’t and as a result have lost most of my friends. At this time i am 20 and am just scared to go and see any dentist because i have no trust in them any more. Can you give me any advice or a dentist that could give assurance that me teeth could be nice again. I do have a steady job and will pay anything to get them done, please help its a last resort. I look forward to hearing from you.
