The Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday announced it will begin the process of pulling prescription fluoride drops and tablets for children off the market. The supplements are usually given to kids at high risk for cavities.
The federal government and some state legislatures are increasingly drawing attention to what they claim are the risks associated with fluoride, a mineral that’s been used for decades in community water systems, toothpastes and mouth rinses to prevent tooth decay.
Dentists fiercely contest the notion that the harms of fluoride outweigh the benefits.
I grew up on well water. I still have well water as an adult. Finally swapping to a prescription grade flouride toothpaste is the only thing that has gotten my cavities in check. It’s been a struggle my entire life.
Brushing twice a day did not matter. No sweets did not matter. I have basically no candy or sweet drink habits at all.
I can directly attribute my lifetime of cavity problems to non flourinated water. My dentist agrees.
This is going to wreck America’s health.
