    Dentists are NOT fluoride experts & sadly uneducated about fluoride science as this article attests. Yet, reporters still go to them rather than toxicologists. That’s truly poor journalism. Studies show that dentists are unaware that modern science shows that fluoride does not harden enamel by ingestion and incorporation into tooth enamel as one dentist is quoted in this article as saying. For example: See http://tinyurl.com/Yoder

    The Centers for Disease Control reports :“Fluoride works primarily after teeth have erupted…”“The concentration of fluoride in ductal saliva, as it is secreted from salivary glands, is low — approximately 0.016 parts per million (ppm) in areas where drinking water is fluoridated and 0.006 ppm in nonfluoridated areas.

    “This concentration of fluoride is not likely to affect cariogenic activity”

    “The prevalence of dental caries in a population is not inversely related to the concentration of fluoride in enamel, and a higher concentration of enamel fluoride is not necessarily more efficacious in preventing dental caries.”

    Further the California Board of Dental Examiners says that fluoride’s bodily effects are beyond the competence of dentistry. See http://fluoridefreesacramento.org/html/dentists_etc.html

    Dentists bragged in their own journal that fluoridation is their ticket to political viability. Dentists make money selling fluoride – in more ways than you know. Corporations that profit from tooth decay & fluoride sales heavily fund organized dentistry in many ways including giving them CE credits for learning how their fluoride product is allegedly “safe and effective.”

    Fluoride chemicals added to your water, hydrofluosilicic acid, is the lead- and arsenic-laced waste product of the phosphate fertilizer industry that has never been tested for safety on animals or humans.

    The prestigious National Research Council reported in 2006 that fluoride, even at low water additive levels, can harm kidney & thyroid patients & babies
