Re: Dentists arrogant Sept. 22 Dentists make their living filling cavities due to tooth decay. The fact is that the widespread presence of fluoride reduces the frequency of decay and is thus responsible for the reduction in the income of dentists worldwide. It is a testament to the honesty of the profession that virtually all dentists (and physicians) promote the use of fluoride, both as a public health initiative and in proprietary dental products such as toothpastes and mouthwashes. There is no indication there is any difference in the overall health of children raised with the benefit of fluoride in their drinking water at recommended levels, other than a high resistance to tooth decay, and those raised in areas without this benefit. Despite attempts to confuse the facts, this is one statistic that cannot be denied. Allan Patterson, DDS Kitchener
So no extra income from repairing the disfigurement of fluorosis and you are ignoring all research that indicates that there are health risks for very little benefit.

While my personal view is that if people don't want to be fluoridated then that is up to them, I am a dentist and the statement above is complete and utter nonsense. This sort of ill-informed rubbish does the anti-fluoridation movement no good whatsoever and it ends up looking like an organisation of crackpots. If you have evidence present it. Otherwise it may be better to keep quiet.

The people of Southampton and many other towns and cities are being forced to drink fluoridated water against their wishes. Is this the only article you have read? Why don't you watch Prof Paul Connett's video of the talk on fluoridation he gave recently/ Isn't that enough evidence for you or as he said if you come out against fluoridation you are a junk scientist quoting junk evidence.
Have you got an open mind?
