Fluoridated toothpaste has been around for a long time, and they're still arguing over whether it helps any. (I concede that is a mineral rather than a vitamin, but same difference in terms of ingestion.) |

They are? Dentists and oral surgeons aren't. There is some question about how much good flouride does for adult teeth, but the benefits for developing teeth are very clear. |

I read a study recently that showed a possible benefit to brushing with vitamin C. My reaction was - you put ascorbic *acid* on your teeth? Who thought *that* would be a good thing to try? Now I see it baked in toothpaste. Maybe they use some other form of vitamin C. |

I just rub a gram of cocaine onto my gums every morning instead of brushing, or coffee. Sorts me right out! |
