Fluoride Deficiency

Fluoride is the trace element that makes your teeth and bones resilient. It hardens tooth enamel, strengthens the skeleton, and gives your body quite literally some bite. When fluoride is lacking or not properly absorbed, this usually shows first in the teeth — they become more vulnerable, more brittle, losing their protective layer. Bones may also lose density. Medically this is explicable: a mineral deficiency. But from a psychosomatic perspective, a different question arises: why does your body refuse a substance that gives it firmness and protection?
