Guess what?
It is "International #Fluoride Experts Day! See the cognitive dissonance in two sentences! -|-
"#Fluoride research has great significance to public health in many nations. Dental decay is the
most common chronic disease of childhood."

Them that can, do.
Them that can't whinge. Image
When all you got is a failed theory, with lots of vested interests pushing the theory, and your self image to boot, this demands you attack the scientist, and not the science. Image
The response from York. -|- "How participants engage in the debate of course matters a great deal. No matter our personal stake in an issue, it is essential that discourse on controversial topics not devolve into personal attacks ..."
" ... or speech that is harassing, threatening, racist, hateful or designed to silence opposing views."
"Till was happy with the university’s response, but believes her reputation and credibility has already been tarnished — what she believes was the goal of the letter.

Till defends her research and addresses the criticism aimed at her findings."
"Till was asked why her critics seem to oppose her claims so fervently. “There are people who will protect fluoride no matter what the cost, no matter what the evidence says. They will disregard the evidence and continue to say that it is unequivocally safe and effective. ..."
" ... We’ve seen this over and over by people who have strong interests in promoting fluoridation,” says Till."
excal.on.ca/health/2020/10…
Till: "We agree that our study reported an association, not causation. Still, observational studies are optimal for testing many important questions in public health, and they are often used to infer causality. ..."
" ... Indeed, if we dismissed observational studies, we would have no evidence that water #fluoridation prevents tooth decay in children."

"JAMA Pediatrics Podcast on Fluoride & IQ"
edhub.ama-assn.org/jn-learning/au…
First editor: "...I had never known that there was even any concern that maternal fluoride use might affect children's IQ."
Second editor: "Right, in fact, for me, before there were anti-vaxxers, there were sort of anti-fluoriders."
"I hope that this will result in #NIH funding some good research. This is a really concerning study to me."

The problem lies there. -|- "Research suggests dental professionals may prioritize clinical experience, personal values and preferences over evidence when delivering such interventions."
onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…
"The average percentage of correctly answered questions was: for the dentists 53%, for the dental hygienists 58% and for the dental assistants 37%."

Understatement. -|- "With some reservations the conclusion can be stated that an obvious necessity exists for post-academic courses in preventive dentistry in the groups concerned."

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

The first step in recovery is admitting you have a problem. Good to see recovery is on the way! -|- "In spite of advances in preventive care and reduction in untreated tooth decay, significant oral health disparities exist"
🙄 Bragging about filling teeth faster? -|- "reduction in *untreated* tooth decay"?
ZERO #prevention in mind. -|- "If not treated through dental surgical intervention, this disease can result in emergency department visits and life- threatening infection and hospital admission."

In the best of all possible worlds, #sealants only cover a fifth of a tooth.

Commercial determinants of health are doing us wrong. Corporate sales demand the spin.
