Dental fluorosis

governments, scientists and even dentists from its inception. With fluoride’s recent classification as hazardous waste, fluoridation policies have come under renewed scrutiny. While there is no question that excessive amounts of fluoride cause dental fluorosis, there is a very large body of evidence linking fluoride to cancer, arthritis, hypothyroidism and neurotoxicity. If this wasn’t enough, there is historical evidence that the approval of fluoride as “safe” for human consumption has been…

Do you know the source of your water and what is in it? Most people don’t understand the importance of knowing where your water comes from. Tap water contains over 140 contaminants. Some of these include chemicals like arsenic, uranium, and dangerous bacteria found in sewage. Here are some of the more common, well known toxins in our Tap Water: Fluoride. The fluoride that is used in the water fluoridation practice, contains a mix of numerous highly toxic chemicals, which includes radioactive…

Fluoride, a natural mineral, has long been an aid to dental hygiene and has many proven benefits in oral health. The use of fluoride is a staple in oral hygiene and when used properly, is very effective at preventing dental caries (decay), reversing early signs of decay seen as demineralization/erosion, and in the long run, saving a person’s money spent at the dentist. Fluoride is administered in many ways such as toothpastes, oral rinses, topical applications, and drinking water. Despite…

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…

vegetables. Foods cooked with fluoridated water, such as rice, pasta, steamed vegetables, etc. Non organic poultry like chicken nuggets, chicken soup, ground chicken etc. Beverages with Fluoride Fluoride has been known to be associated with have radiation development in the water supply. (Bukro, C., 1975).Fluoridated water is a known beverage to contain fluoride, but there are other drinks that contain just as must fluoride. Most beverages are also made of water which would make sense to why it…

drinking water occurred in 1962 and ever since then has been fluoridated in compliance with Vancouver Municipal Code and EPA standards. Fluoride is an important characteristic of water quality because communities add it to their drinking water for dental health. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, fluoridation in drinking water is a major factor for the decline of tooth decay in the US and remains the most equitable and cost-effective method of providing fluoride to the…

Based on their study they recommended that called for increased communication between researchers and the media but also that “public health must employ social strategies for improved communication management” (Seymour et al., 2015, p. 517). Furthermore, the literature suggested that “public health officials should take into account cultural norms and perceptions when individuals in a community appear to rise up against water fluoridation” (Perrella & Kiss, 2015, p. 197).

Fluoride is an ionic compound derived from fluorine, the most reactive of all elements. Water fluoridation is the addition of chemical fluoride to public water supplies, for the purpose of reducing cavities. Fluoride was first added to public water supplies in 1945, and now, about two thirds of the U.S. population use fluoridated public water (CDC). Unlike any other water treatment process, fluoridation does not treat the water itself, but rather the person consuming it. The Food and Drug…

proven correlation of the prevention of dental caries, may cause serious health problems within the human body, is not effective enough to justify the costs, and no longer used in pharmacology as it once was (NYT, 4/15/1956). Water fluoridation juxtaposes the common good against…
