Ok, I can't even believe I'm thinking of getting this, as I know I will be instantly sick even opening the tube.....But I heard this was very high in fluoride: Colgate Duraphat Toothpaste 5000?
Is it any good??
I was thinking of just applying it to one wisdom tooth that is showing very early decay to try and get it to remineralise, as well as asking my dentist for a fluoride treatment.
As my teeth have never seen fluoride, would this be too much?
I know it's prescription only, but you can get it on ebay for £14 a tube.....
I really wish I could use toothpaste all the time, but I just can't. Just the thought of it near my mouth makes me heave...
But I thought applying this to one tooth for 6 months to try and reverse very early decay might be a good idea????
Then if it's not remineralised in 6 months, I'd go for the filling.
As the tooth hasn't changed to look at in 5 years, I'm hoping I can remineralise it myself....?? Worth a bash!
It's great to have all this extra knowledge from reading this forum!
Makes me realise how much my dentist has neglected me!
When I first saw signs of very early decay in a wisdom tooth 5 years ago, why didn't my dentist tell me about remineralisation, discuss my diet, and offer me a fluoride treatment????
All he did was say nothing was wrong with the tooth, and left it to develop into a tiny cavity.
Well, I'm going to try and reverse this tiny speck of decay before he gets handy with a drill!!
In 2 weeks reading this great forum, even I know what to do to encourage remineralisation, yet my dentist basically said such a thing didn't exist, and left a suspect tooth to develp for 5 years into a cavity...........
