Why does the American Dental Association promote fluoridation for Dental health?
The ADA promotes fluoridation to promote the sale of fluoridated toothpaste (they make a lot of money from putting their seal of approval on toothpaste brands) and the practice of fluoride application to children’s teeth in the dental office, which is a very lucrative practice. There is no evidence that it reduces the rate of tooth decay and therefore does not reduce the need to see the dentist for cavity rate (which would reduces their dental business if it worked) but the fact is it doesn’t work. The ADA receives a lot of money if the form of research grants for misleading research they like to do. The underlying engine for this strange behavior is their connection to the major industries that have fluoride as a waste product. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) severely restricts disposal of this waste. However, the EPA does not regulate fluoride disposal in municipal water supplies.
