You bought into the fluoridation PR. There is no evidence that fluoridation is the reason for declining tooth decay in the past. During the same period, foods were fortified rickets preventing vitamin D, a symptom of vitamin D deficiency is tooth decay.
Fluoride is neither a nutrient nor essential for healthy teeth. Having a fluoride "deficienc" will not cause tooth decay, although those early public health officials thought it was.
They also thought that fluoride had to be ingested to prevent tooth decay. However, fluoride ingestion only leads to side effects such as bone and tooth damage. Fluoride's tooth hardening effects only occur topically.
After over 60 years of fluoridation reach 2/3 of US public water supplies and virtually 100% of the food and beverage supply and a glut of fluoridated dental products on the market, tooth decay is at crisis level
At the same time fluoride overdose symptoms - dental fluorosis - white spotted,yellow, brown and/or pitted enamel is occuring in up to 41% of US school children which dentist gleefully cover with hugely expensive cosmetic dentistry often not covered by any insurance.
Over 1600 professionals and almost 11,000 petition signers now urge congress to stop floridation because the evidence shows it cause more harm han good
