Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / October 2004Flouride for adults?
At my cleaning yesterday, the hygienist recommended a flouride treatment and I was surprised as I thought it was mainly beneficial to "young" people - I am over 50 :) I don't use toothpaste with flouride or have drinking water with flouride. I am not concerned about cavities because I just don't get them anymore. However, she said the flouride helps strengthen the enamel and re-mineralizes or something and recommended it because of scratches caused by the cleaning. What do you think? Should adults have a flouride treatment at every 6 month cleaning? >At my cleaning yesterday, the hygienist recommended a flouride treatment >and I was surprised as I thought it was mainly beneficial to "young" people >- I am over 50 :) YUP she has fallen for the standard pitch!

Fluroide is not as effective as initially thought when taken internally. It is most effective in small doses over time, to remineralize the tooth as it breaks down during daily acid challanges. The question about adult fluorides - Fluroide is helpful. It's better to skip the polishing. Polishing removes the fluoride rich outter layer of the enamel. It has no benefits whatsoever. You will likely enter into a time of increased caries activity again at some point. If you take any medications that will decrease your saliva, you're at risk for new decay. Ask your hygienist to read her journals and she'll see that what she's doing is contrary to the way fluoride and decay works. Or not and avoid making her look/feel bad.

OK, you do the work, and I'll have the fun. "You know you're a redneck if you're too drunk to fish" carabelli There are some very ignorant people on this newsgroup (meaning myself only) What does "cut bait" mean. Does it refer to dentistry or fishing. and what does the "fish" mean" The rest gets more confusing yet. STOP IT !!!!!!!!! When a quandry presents itself, an old saying about the confused: "He doesn't know whether to fish or cut bait". One could infer that Carabelli's 'cut bait' response to Dr. Steve means that you prepare for more meaningful, definite research before making any decisions. W_B's response of 'fish' could mean to act upon the evidence as presented.

You know... when I was in high school, I was in Europe (my Father's job meant we had to be in boarding schools, and his company paid for it...) and we could always pick out the Americans and Canadians on the ski hills. The Americans were easy: they talk like SF writes, and they did it while NEVER moving their arms OR opening their mouths. So, even if they were out of earshot, it was still easy to spot 'em. The Canadians were even easier: they always looked like they shouldn't have been there because it all was just too much and too expensive... IOW, completely lost.... I have to say that when I took the family down to Disney World this past summer, I was still afflicted with that same Canadian Disease... Sadly, some people will never get over it.

They are like any other school: you get out what you put in, and the huge advantage is that you get to see that there is more to this world than North America, and that the world does NOT hang on every word or action that the USofA sees fit to realize. Only when you get out of NA for a couple of years can you really appreciate what this means. I think that Dubbaya is learning a bit of that now: the Bible doesn't have all the answers and the world is not just good and evil. I remember the look on his face when the Germans told him flat out that they did not plan to follow him into Iraq. You'd think that he'd seen JC getting down of the cross.... This is why I think it is a crime that neither your leadership or ours really has an internationally based education.... That hurts both your country and mine.

If the only argument that your dental hygienist has to give you a fluoride treatment is that SHE is removing the fluoride rich layer of enamel by polishing, ask her to skip the polish.

If you get your teeth polished maybe twice a year, the amount of abrasion from this is minimal, esp. compared to daily brushing, normal attrition and wear and tear (not to mention any parafunctional habits). The polishing should tend to remove any scratches caused by scaling, but I can't remember seeing any scanning electron micrographs indicating that a normal polishing actually does this. In any case, if you haven't had a cavity in years, I believe fluoride treatments are a very low priority.

A few years ago I did an enormous reasearch paper published in RDH (www.rdhmag.com). I saw tons of micrographs of the damage polish does to enamel. The point of this discussion was wheather this person needed a fluoride treatment. If the only reason the practitioner gave was to replace the fluoride rich outter enamel that was removed during polishing, the teeth should not be polished, and skip the fluoride. Save the arguement for people who NEED topical office fluroide treatments. Goto to your journals and read Featherstone for lessons in topical fluoride and how enamel heals, yes heals.

She did the "cleaning" with an ultrasonic drill or whatever you call it, which was really just for removing tarter and plaque. She didn't "polish" my teeth. Interesting because the previous hygienists did polish my teeth during a cleaning. Anyway, the only reason she gave for recommending a fluoride treatment was scratches caused by the cleaning/scaling and said it was good for re-mineralizing the teeth. >>The polishing should tend to remove any scratches caused by scaling, >>but I can't remember seeing any scanning electron micrographs indicating [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > ~~~~~~~~~ > http://www.dentistry.com/poralhealth_02.asp >Short history?

Are you saying the cleaning > (removing stains) of teeth or polishing is bad? That claim only appears in the magazines sent to dental hygienists and is backed up by their own peers. I suppose, they use this to defend themselves when the dentist complains that they did not polish the teeth very well. Any dentist is going to insist on a smooth clean surface free of anything that is not "tooth". Polishing is not theraputic. Stain is not harmful, and can be removed with an ultrasonic scaler. A hygiensit or dentist or dental assistant can polish your teeth with toothpaste. I have a distaste for removing or harming enamel. My distaste comes from years of research. >The only reason the hygienist suggested fluoride was because after cleaning >my teeth, she said the fluoride helps with the scratches and re-mineralizes [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > >Thanks!

This is almost exactly the what Trendley Dean once realized after one of his reports to the Surgeon General: "Is mottled enamel merely an oral manifestation of a general toxicity or something similar? The hair of some of these mottled enamel cases is unusually coarse, almost like horse hair. Finger nails are apparently not normal. Two of the three local physicians state that there is apparently an unusually large account of skin disorders among those using the city water supply. Future surveys will attempt to obtain this additional dermatological data in order to determine whether it correlates with the mottled enamel." Instead of a follow up he somehow realized "This is not sci.med.body". Dentistry is not medicine. Too long was the fight to separate the two, to revive the old problem and now allow an intervention by medicine.
