Anyone have experience to share on refusing fluoride treatments, toothpaste, and water supplementation for kids (mine's 4 yrs old) and getting carries/cavities? My (old) dentist claims my daughter has 5 cavities due to refusal of fluoride. I plan to have her see my "mercury-free" dentist, who I believe still promotes topical fluoride treatments. I based my decision on solid research I've done on the subject and decided that toxic waste from manufacturing could not be something our bodies/teeth need. Now I'm doubting my decision, even though it still seems the research against fluoridation holds up. Anyone else have a similar experience that could help support me in my time of crisis? Or ideas on how to prevent future cavities- obviously more flossing and less sugar might help.

Thanks. Rose
