USA - NYSCOF comment
fluoride is not required for healthy teeth. Rotten diets make rotten teeth and no amount of fluoride can change that. Modern science indicates that ingested fluoride does not reduce tooth decay but does expose entire populations to fluoride' adverse health effects. See http://www.fluorideAction.net/health
Fluoridation has not reduced tooth decay and has not reduced dental costs
Despite 60+ years of water fluoridation, Americans are spending more than ever on dental care. "between 1998 and 2008 the increase in the cost of dental services exceeded that of medical care and far exceeded the overall rate of inflation," according to Slate Magazine. Americans paid 44.2 percent of dental bills themselves compared to 10.3 percent of physician costs, Slate reports.
More fluoride = more money for dentists?
Dentists' Nominal Net Income for 2000 was $533,000 up from $141,000 in 1982, according to the American Dental Association Survey published in the March 2005 Journal of the American Dental Association. During the same time period, the number of Americans living in fluoridated communites went from 116 million to 172 million.
The Centers for Disease Control reports that fluoride-overdose symptoms have increased also - with up to 48% of US school children sporting dental fluorosis - white spotted, yellow, brown and/or pitted teeth.
