Fluoride – What’s the Truth?
After graduating dental school, I thought, just like with mercury, fluoride was safe and a necessary part of dentistry. In the mid-seventies, I researched fluoride. I came to the conclusion that fluoride was a toxic poison, and it did not decrease tooth decay. I stopped using fluoride in my practice. Now the consensus in the dental world is that fluoride does not work to prevent decay systemically. It works topically. Fluoride is an enzyme killer and thus kills the bacteria in the mouth that cause tooth decay. If you want a poison to kill the bacteria, why place it in the water, just use it in toothpaste or swish with it.
