Fluoride poisoning

ages, is safe, free to consume and is natural. Despite the continual support for fluoride within dental, medical and scientific communities, there is marked opposition by the general public and a minority of scientists. Through a critical analysis of both the benefits of water fluoridation and its supposed disadvantages, it can be seen that its relevance and vitality for maintaining oral health is stagnant. Dental caries is a common cause of acute preventable hospital admissions in Australia, and the addition of fluoride to water systems…

the process of adding fluoride to the water supply so the level reaches approximately 0.7 ppm, or 0.7 milligrams of fluoride per liter of water. The water is fluoridated when the public water system is adjusted to a level that helps to prevent tooth decay and other dental problems. About 95% of fluoride is added to public…

is higher than countries who do not fluoridate their water. Fluoride has been called the greatest public health achievement of the 20th century, but still there is no proven effect to the American people's teeth. So, why than is 66.3% of the U.S. population receiving fluoridated water and why are taxpayers paying millions of dollars to put a harmful chemicals into their water? Fluoride is a drug and harmful chemical that the people of the U.S. deserve to choose whether or not they want to ingest…

Blaylock highlights how independent study after study has shown that fluoride increases cancer rates, increases bone disorders, which as Blaylock points out is a good way of increasing mortality rates amongst the elderly, and also leads to profound neurological disorders. Blaylock highlights the research of Phyllis Mullenix, Ph.D, who during her tenure at Harvard University conducted one of the largest studies into fluoride’s effects on the brain in animals. Mullenix found that offspring of…

relationship between fluoride and oral health when discussing the fluoride concentration within a public water system. These articles, however, are quite similar in their findings, yet differ in the location the study was conducted in and age groups that were focused on. This paper examines Banóczy (2013), Peterson (2015), as well as O’Sullivan & O’Connell’s (2015) research to fully understand the relationship of fluoridation within public water systems in a discussion of the effects on oral…

but there is a chemical called fluoride added to most public water services. These water services would include school and city water. You are most likely drinking this water at some time. Many people believe that water fluoridation protects the teeth from tooth decay, however there is actually many risks with consuming the water. The risks include risks to the body. Supplementing fluoride to public water services is unethical and creates risk to a person’s dental and overall health. When…

Should water fluoridation be implemented internationally? Water fluoridation refers to the controlled addition of fluoride to a public water supply to reduce tooth decay, usually accomplished by adding sodium fluoride, fluorosilicic acid or sodium fluorosilicate to water of which fluorosilicic acid is the most common. Fluoride helps to protect our teeth by a variety of ways such as altering the structure of developing enamel and encouraging remineralisation ensuring that the enamel crystals are…

For someone that works in the dental field, fluoride is a topic discussed daily. You will hear things from fluoride being the best thing for your teeth all the way down to fluoride being a toxic poison. While the topic can be debated to death, I personally think the use of fluoride is a major asset in the war on caries. There are many ways we can use this nature-made substance to improve our oral health, but the specific type we will be discussing is water fluoridation. Before we get into the…

the hydroxide ions. In light of Le Chatelier’s principle, in which a decrease in the reactant, shifts the equilibrium to the left. Also, since iron is being used to form iron hydroxide, then not enough iron to produce a substantial amount of complex to create a noticeable color change. Consequently, the maximum absorbance of the iron (III)-thiocyanate depends on the pH and duration. Anion Effects: Different salts were added to determine if solvent composition has an effect on the maximum…

of the the 55, I will apply the glass ionomer/composite laminate techique. Otherwise known as the ‘closed sandwich tecqnique’, this method is suitable for deep cavities. In addition, the fluoride release and effective chemical bonding properties of GIC to enamel and dentine will provide a good seal for the cavity and protect the pulp. Moreover, the usage of GIC as a sealant in the absence of healthy dentinde minimise polymerisation shrinkage related to resin-composite (Vilkinis,…
