You and the people who won't quit smoking when I tell them to stop every time I extract their tooth and place an implant and then they try to make me feel bad they spent $6,000 on it. I tell them to go make Marlboro feel bad instead.

As a dentist, I applaud you for saying no to fluoride. It keeps me in business.

Let's break this down for the dentist who thinks fluoride is the only option. Fluoride isn't just a harmless mineral—it's a toxic byproduct of industrial processes, and there are better, safer alternatives for dental care. Here's the unfiltered truth:
1. Where Fluoride Really Comes From
Industrial Waste: Fluoride is a byproduct of aluminum, fertilizer, and steel manufacturing. It's classified as a toxic waste by the EPA.
Water Fluoridation: In the 1940s, industries needed a way to dispose of fluoride waste. They convinced the public it was "good for teeth" and started dumping it into water supplies.
Toxicity: Fluoride is not a nutrient. It's a neurotoxin that accumulates in bones and the brain, causing long-term damage.
2. Why Fluoride is Dangerous
Neurotoxicity: Studies link fluoride to lower IQ in children and cognitive decline in adults.
Thyroid Disruption: Fluoride competes with iodine, leading to hypothyroidism (fatigue, weight gain, depression).
Skeletal Fluorosis: Chronic exposure weakens bones, causing pain and fractures.
Dental Fluorosis: Overexposure in kids leads to white spots and brittle enamel.
3. Safer, Better Alternatives to Fluoride
Here's what you should be recommending instead of pushing toxic fluoride:
1. Nano-Hydroxyapatite (nHAp)
What It Is: A biomimetic compound identical to tooth enamel.
How It Works: Repairs enamel, reduces sensitivity, and prevents cavities.
Why It's Better: Non-toxic, safe to swallow, and more effective than fluoride in remineralizing teeth.
2. Xylitol
What It Is: A natural sugar alcohol that starves cavity-causing bacteria.
How It Works: Reduces plaque, neutralizes acids, and boosts saliva production.
Why It's Better: Safe for humans (toxic to pets) and prevents cavities without toxicity.
3. Calcium Phosphate Compounds
What It Is: Includes amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) and casein phosphopeptide-ACP (CPP-ACP).
How It Works: Delivers calcium and phosphate to rebuild enamel.
Why It's Better: Effective for sensitive teeth and reverses early decay.
4. Oil Pulling
What It Is: Swishing coconut or sesame oil for 10-20 minutes.
How It Works: Removes bacteria, reduces plaque, and freshens breath.
Why It's Better: Natural and chemical-free.
4. The Bigger Picture: Why Fluoride is Still Pushed
Corporate Profits: Big Pharma and chemical companies profit from fluoride waste disposal.
Lobbying: The American Dental Association (ADA) receives funding from fluoride manufacturers, creating a conflict of interest.
Ignorance: Many dentists are taught outdated, industry-funded science and don't explore alternatives.
5. What You Should Be Doing as a Dentist
Educate Yourself: Study the science behind fluoride toxicity and safer alternatives.
Empower Patients: Offer nano-hydroxyapatite toothpaste, xylitol gum, and calcium phosphate rinses.
Stop the Lies: Fluoride isn't the only option—it's just the most profitable one for corporations.
Final Note
Fluoride is toxic waste masquerading as a dental miracle. It's time to stop pushing it and start offering safer, more effective alternatives. Your patients deserve better than being guinea pigs for corporate greed.
Step up. Do better 🔥
