The standard tactic among anti groups is to pummel city councils and water boards with email and calls demanding an end to fluoridation. It's incredibly harmful yet unsurprising given it has worked for many, many years. #publichealth #prevention #dentistry #teeth
Let me explain further.
1) A group of anti fluoride researchers, including some foreigners, seek to end community water fluoridation in the United States.
2) They have brought litigation against the Environmental Protection Agency in the US District Court for the Northern District of California. dockets.justia.com/docket/califor…

Every week, I get at least one phone call complaining of severe toothache, almost always in the molars. (Back teeth).

The patient comes in and the clinical examination and xrays show no cavities, and the tests for fracture are usually negative at this stage.

Usually it can only mean one of two things:
1) If the pain is restricted to the upper molar, then a recent of concurrent history of sinusitis/runny nose/cold etc. I typically see this around late November and the history is very clear.

2) BRUXISM!
What is Bruxism?

In plain and simple words, severe uncontrolled undesirable grinding of teeth against each other, usually occurs when the patients is asleep and the patient has no idea they are doing this.

The test is very simple. I will use my finger to test the Lateral

Nobody is teaching patients HOW to brush their #teeth?
'Go ride that bicycle!'
'Go fly that airplane!'
'Go fight that bull!'

Certainly not in a manner the patients get. And nothing about when, or even why they should clean their teeth.

Limitations of an Optimized Mindset
A thread 🧵on the problem of optimization!
1/ Finding an optimal solution through an efficient algorithm is how a trained technologist looks at any computational problem.

But as soon as this mindset is extended to real-world problems, the majority of inefficiencies become annoying.

#solutions #efficiency #productivity
2/ In fact, the real problem starts when everything in life becomes an optimization problem.

So much so that eventually, it becomes a defining orientation to life as well.

#Thread about brushing your teeth:

When I came back from the US in late 2018, one of my goals was to create awareness about oral health. I was very surprised to hear how many people don't know its essential to brush multiple times.

#oralhealth #preventivecare #brushyourteeth
So I created this poll and the results confirmed my fear. More than 50% said they brush ONCE a day! So here goes.

Teeth can get two main diseases: Caries/cavities and periodontal/gum disease. Both are multi factorial but start with two main factors: Diet and oral hygiene.
Genes play a role but let's not blame our parents and their parents for our faults.

Basically food left on teeth causes caries and under the gums causes periodontal issues. Plain and simple. Some foods are worse than others but oral hygiene is key. So lets start with brushing.
