From the NTP monograph. #FluorideFriday facts. Judge Chen wouldn't let the folks who want to add bioavailable #fluorine to our diet talk about the "benefits" of #fluoridation. Because there are no facts to support such. The NTP knew that. 
The biggest problem the #StannoudFoilHats have, is that since organized #Dentistry has been avoiding talking about the research of C. C. Bass, MD, the loud ones must not know that Dr Bass published his first paper on preventing the loss of teeth in 1943.
That paper traveled around the world many times and was adopted by the new field of #PreventiveDentistry everywhere it was read. The formal practice of personal oral hygiene started a couple of years before Grand Rapids decided to add #fluorine to the diet of their citizens.
By the time #fluoridation got to be any size, people in all walks of life began taking the time to care for their teeth in ways never done before. Personal oral hygiene has prevented more #caries in the population than having toxic fluorine in their system ever did.
Since bestowing any sort of respect to Dr Bass is out of the question, #Dentistry today doesn't pay his research any mind. Back then they said "What could a MEDICAL Doctor know about teeth?" and dismissed the work out of hand. Professional mistake.
Trying to amend that, many years later the profession of #Dentistry took to referring to the "Modified Bass Technique", just because they could not avoid doing so anymore. The results and the demand were too great.
Can anyone define the so-called "modified" part of the Bass Method? Anyone? Mistaking the happy, healthy results of the widespread use of toothbrushes and dental floss as being the results of adding #fluorine to the enamel of teeth is the error. Dr Bass is not going away.
A few papers have shown that rates of caries in the USA began falling in the early 1960's, through the 70's, and then, in the 80's, started going back up. In the 80's, Preventive Dentistry dwindled, as organized #Dentistry saw its future. Plus, the Sugar people had taken over.
Further, the Kingston/Newburgh study that most all #StannousFoilHats point to as being the magnum opus of #fluoridation was a complete and utter failure.
#TheyKnewAndTheyDidItAnyway. The 1951 #Dental directors are responsible for the ongoing mass intoxication of the population that "benefit" from having bioavailable #fluorine in their diet.
