Side Effects from Fluoride Gels: Gastric Distress

April 30, 2012

Gastric distress — including nausea, pain, and vomiting — is one the most common side effects from professional application of “fluoride gels” at the dentist. Patients receiving fluoride gels can swallow more than 20 mg of fluoride from a single treatment — doses that far exceed the doses that can form toxic concentrations of hydrofluoric […]

Gastrointestinal Problems Among Individuals with Skeletal Fluorosis

March 28, 2012

Humans suffering from skeletal fluorosis are known to suffer from an increased occurrence of gastrointestinal disorders. When fluoride intake is reduced, these gastrointestinal problems are among the first symptoms to disappear. The following are some of the studies that have examined this issue: “It is clear from the observations presented in this article that fluoride damages teeth, […]

Fluoride-Induced Gastric Symptoms in Human Clinical Trials

March 28, 2012

In studies where fluoride has been used (at doses of 18-34 mg/day) as an experimental drug for the treatment of osteoporosis, gastrointestinal disturbances are one of the two main side effects consistently encountered. The following are some of the accounts from the published literature: “The use of fluoride in the prophylaxis or treatment of osteoporosis seems […]

Fluoride-Induced Damage to Gastric Mucosa in Human Clinical Trials

March 28, 2012

When fluoride has been used (at doses of 18-34 mg/day) as an experimental treatment for osteoporosis, gastric pain is one of the two main side effects consistently encountered. To better understand how fluoride causes this effect, researchers have sought to determine how fluoride affects the tissue that lines the gastrointestinal tract. In a study published in the […]

Fluoride & Gastrointestinal System: The Importance of Fluoride Concentration in Stomach

March 28, 2012

The following is an excerpt from the National Research Council’s (2006) review of fluoride toxicity: “It is important to realize that GI effects depend more on the net concentration of the aqueous solution of fluoride in the stomach than on the total fluoride dose in the fluid or solid ingested. The presence of gastric fluids […]
