Why Dentists Don’t Know The Truth About Fluoride

Posted by on · 5 Comments

Fluoride Water If you think the fluoride controversy is nothing but a “conspiracy theory” being promoted by a bunch of crazy, loony bin type people needing their head examined, then you may want to take it up with Harvard University, the EPA, and a former head of the National Cancer Institute. In fact, you’ll even want to take it up with the United States government as a whole, which has recommended the lowering of fluoride levels following a variety of studies that have linked fluoride to decreased IQ and neurological development.

If you’re one of those who routinely says things like, “You can’t believe anything you read on the internet”, or “take anything found online with a grain of salt”, then you might be surprised to learn that the Harvard University scientists published their conclusion ONLINE in the July 20, 2012 edition of the prominent journal Environmental Health Perspectives, a federal government medical journal stemming from the United States National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.

McKinney Texas City Council Debates Water Fluoridation – Councilman Ricchi Wants Fluoride in Water Stopped

Posted by on · Leave a Comment

Fluoride in Water McKinney Texas Councilman Ray Ricchi, and many local North Texas residents, want water fluoridation stopped. As readers might imagine, I’ve been paying very close attention to the increasing awareness about “fluoride” in water, and I was very happy to hear that the McKinney City Council is currently reviewing this very important issue.

Local news reporters attended the recent City Council meeting in McKinney, where water fluoridation was on the agenda, and public comment was allowed. Of course, several local dentists were in attendance and spoke about the purported “benefits” of water fluoridation, while many informed residents spoke about the dangers of “fluoride” in water. I use quotes around “fluoride” on purpose, as naturally occurring calcium fluoride is not the issue being discussed locally. But, some news reporters who have covered the fluoridation story, just don’t seem to be able to “get it” quite yet.

Water Fluoridation and Your Dentist: Talking to Dentists and Patients About Fluoride in Water

Posted by on · 2 Comments

JADA January 2013A lengthy article about water fluoridation in the January 1, 2013 issue of the Journal of American Dental Association (JADA) magazine caught my attention. The article is entitled “The Dentist’s Role in Promoting Community Water Fluoridation – A Call to Action for Dentists and Educators”, written by authors Molly L.R. Melbye, DDS and Jason M. Armfield, PhD.

This post is directed towards dentists, dental hygienists, dental assistants, office managers, and dental patients. Call it “An Open Letter to All Dentists, Dental Hygienists and Staff”, if you will. As dental professionals, we owe it to patients to provide them accurate and informative advice about their health, specifically in regards to oral health. But, we also advise dental patients about the overall health effects of smoking, tobacco use, cutting down their consumption of sugars etc, do we not?

Fluoride is a Poison – How Does Fluoride Affect Health

Posted by on · 2 Comments

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, fluoride IS a toxic poison. Fluoride added to water supplies is NOT pharmaceutical grade fluoride. Not even close. The negative health affects of consuming fluoride via water fluoridation, fluoride toothpastes, mouthwashes, rinses, fluoride supplements, vitamins etc etc, are well known and proven to be a fact.

Just a few days ago I happened to notice the cover story of a dental magazine by the ADA called “ADA News”, mentioning how a town in Florida had recently voted 3-2 to keep their municipal water supply fluoridated. See it here. What do the two people who voted against continuing adding fluoride to the town’s water supply know about fluoride that the other three do not know or choose to ignore? What about all the people that live in that town? Do the citizens not have a right to choose if they want toxic chemicals forcibly added to their water supply against their consent, and perhaps even without their informed knowledge?

The Fluoride Controversy: The Facts & The Fiction – by Paul G. Rubin, DDS, MIAOMT

Posted by on · 2 Comments

There is a great deal of controversy about the effectiveness and the safety of fluoride, especially in the form of water fluoridation. The intent of this paper is to provide you with information you will need to make an informed decision about fluoride.

This information is based on valid scientific sources, and its basic premise of is that water fluoridation is ineffective at improving dental health, and does have the potential of adverse health effects (in other words, harm).

History of fluoridation

Water fluoridation began in the late 1940’s and 50’s after some preliminary studies were done that purportedly showed that a certain “optimal” level of fluoride (stated to be one part per million – 1ppm) in the drinking water led to decreased cavities in children. The testing protocols were quite flawed, and science gave way to politics.

Fluoride in Water – Removing Fluoride From Drinking Water in Dallas, Austin, Plano TX Cities

Posted by on · 1 Comment

As subscribed readers and regular visitors know, I’ve been doing a great deal of research into the fluoride controversy, especially the controversy surrounding water fluoridation and where the fluoride added to water supplies actually comes from. Public awareness about fluoride in municipal water supplies, fluoride in bottled water etc is rapidly growing. That’s a very good thing.

When I research a topic, I spend alot of time digging deep into the subject, sometimes to the point of obsession. I make no apologies for doing whatever I can to help bring greater awareness to the fluoride debate, and the sooner every average citizen like myself decides to spend some time learning about water fluoridation and where the fluoride comes from, the better.
