Should I sue Toothpaste or mouth wash company?
Okay there is the deal. When I lived in Europe then my tooth were perfectly fine. I didn't had any problems. I also got my tooth's checked before I moved to the US. After I was being in US almost 3 months, my teeth started to go in bad condition (I washed them regularly twice a day like when I lived in EU). Then I got gum disease after that. But I also noticed something. In US, the water and toothpastes and mouth washes contains way more fluoride then the water in Europe. So I read one scientific article about fluoride. It says that fluoridation has dangerous long-term consequences to health etc. http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/fluoride.htm. But I can't afford a dental medical for my self (or my parents can't because they both got new cars and they have other big loans etc). My dad also had the same problem, his tooth started to fall out when he moved to here.
And it fu**ing hurts. I feel pressure under my teeth, it doesn't hurts actually but it feels very uncomfortable and it makes me angry. And we are living in the world most "strongest, richest, powerful etc" country which even can't afford free dental health care people who at at least under 21, but we can fight in Middle East and spend Multi billion dollars. I wish I could move back to the Europe and have a free or cheap dental health care but I can't because I'm in college in here.
I'm going to college in here etc* stupid typos.

Well, first off I believe if you sue…the odds of you winning are rather small because you’re going against big business and they’ll just argue that you should’ve read the label and/or done research. Also, you say you have no money to go to the dentist. Well how are you going to pay a lawyer in the chances that you don’t win? It kind of surprises me that as a European citizen you’ve found yourself wanting to sue.
Either way, I feel terrible that you’re having trouble with your mouth. Both my parents are European (moved here at 30 years old) and their mouths are fine. I suggest that you go to a dental school (low-cost dental work) and have them check out your mouth.
It may not be the fluoride at all but rather some disease. Mind you, the dental care in the EU is significantly worse than American dental care. It’s possible that your condition may have been overlooked.

I don’t think suing the company will do any good. If you can’t afford dental care you’re not going to be able to afford a lawyer that can compete with the lawyers that these huge corporations can get. We live in such a litigious society nowadays where people no longer feel that they are in any way responsible for themselves. The fact that you say tooths instead of teeth makes me wonder how you would stand up in court to be honest.
