Fluoride: Is It Really Good For You?
Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral found in water in varying amounts, depending on where in the UK you live.
It can help prevent tooth decay, which is why it’s added to many brands of toothpaste and, in some areas, to the water supply through a process called fluoridation.

Fluoride toothpaste
Brushing your teeth thoroughly with fluoride toothpaste is one of the most effective ways of preventing tooth decay.
A range of toothpaste is available containing different levels of fluoride. The amount of fluoride in the toothpaste can be found on the side of the tube and is measured in parts per million (ppm).

Is fluoride safe?
There have been some concerns that fluoride may be linked to a variety of health conditions. Reviews of the risks have so far found no convincing evidence to support these concerns. However, a condition called dental fluorosis can sometimes occur if a child’s teeth are exposed to too much fluoride when they’re developing.

I have had bad dentists in the past who have tried to scam me, but I have only had good experiences here. Dr Chawla’s office is comfortable, clean, and I found it very helpful that she has more modern equipment.

From the moment I called to make my first appointment I felt welcomed by the staff. I love how you fill out all paperwork on iPad quick and simple. Dr. Chawla explained everything very well.

This is a long-overdue review. In 2020, I started experiencing tooth discomfort, on and off. When the pain turned unbearable, I got in for an emergency appointment at Lotus. This was the first dentist visit I’d had in over 5 years.

Let me start by saying that I have severe anxiety when it comes to any dental procedures or offices. I had been bouncing around from office to office trying to find somewhere me and my son would feel comfortable, until I found Lotus Dental.
