If flouride is a conspiracy, I still don't understand who is profiting from fluoride. Certainly not the dentists.

The industries that are getting rid of their waste and the waste today is coming from China as most of our industrial companies/plants moved overseas. Do you remember Alcoa Alum, US Steel, Bethlehem Steel, Westinghouse, GE et al...all their plants are now overseas, mexico, china, and other poor paying countries. Now it's being bagged in China and shipped to the U.S. for our water supplies.

This whole thing was started by Alcoa and Mellon money....I mentioned this many times in my info.

Am I the only one who gets and believes this history.

And IF fluoride is doing such a great job, doesn't that mean Less business for the dentists, is that true with dentists here?

Fluoride in the drinking water is perhaps the only thing that has prevented my son from a mouthful of cavities! His hygiene is terrible, he rarely brushes his teeth (please, no bad parenting comments, he's 21 and doesn't live with us), he drinks gallons of sugary soda, and simply won't go to a dentist. We carry dental insurance which pays for 3 cleanings/year, no cost to him, but he just won't go. So far he has not developed serious dental problems---that I know of---and the only thing I can think of that is preventing cavities is the fluoride in the drinking water!

If you worked in a dental office over the past 45 years, you'd see the good that fluoride has done for the general population: It used to be very common to see children with rotten, bombed-out mouths, but nowadays they have intact and healthy teeth. It's really quite a big improvement, and something I'm glad to see.

Yeah, yeah, it's all a big conspiracy, easy to believe if you have not the least, tiny bit of knowledge about chemistry. It's not even difficult chemistry; it's middle school stuff.

Yes, fluoride means less business for dentists. Every dollar spent on fluoridation saves about $38 on dental care.

Reading OP's original post it's said that the dentist doesn't do that anymore. Wonder Why? Any dentists here know why.

The poster said they live with well water and I'd think well water gets it's share of naturally occurring fluoride if they live in rainy/snowy climate.

Others say they live with well water as well.

I'd like to hear from the dentists, do they have less business with more teeth fluoridated with our public waters.

Your son is fortunate so far, drinking gallons of sugary soda is giving him lots of sugar and fluoridated water as all these sodas are produced from public waters and MOST are artifically fluoridated.

I was NOT fortunate as I was born and raised in fluoridated tap water and drank cokes when I could sneak them as mother would not have sodas in the house, and ate lots of sugar stuff and my mouth is full of dental work.

Could be too some have stronger teeth than others....I'm guessing mine were not real strong.

OF COURSE. Fluoride has prevented literally millions of cavities. That's the point of fluoride, to prevent cavities. It prevents rotten teeth. It prevents dental pain. It prevents spending money on tooth repair. It prevents dentures at a young age. It prevents, prevents, prevents.

Fluoride. Prevents. Cavities.

I can't be more clear about it than that.

But don't forget to floss.
