The infamous Dr Stare.
Read it again.
A #ThrowbackThursday, from only 1978, illuminating the power of commercial determinants of ill health.

Quite the guy.
One of the biggest promoters early on.
#Fluoridation is not science.
It is a dodge.
And more evidence the #fluorine chemicals used today are not as good as they used to be... 🙄
Nobody claims 50% reduction in caries today.
Another #ThrowbackThursday item.
The infamous Dr Stare. Promoting #fluoridation, on behalf of his paymasters.
This is still going on, the names and institutions have changed, but the bandwagon rolls on, greased with toothpaste, mouthwash and the like.
The Twelve.
"Fluoride is a mineral nutrient."
😏
First up.
And eleven more shifty eyed script readers, extolling the 'benefits' of #fluoride.

Watch for yourself, this is the best evidence of no evidence at all.

#EndFluoridation, it is a commercially motivated determinant of ill health.
industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/#id=yhbd0…
Totally.
August 19, 2019.
Listen to the incredulity in their voice.
The terrible harm to children because of #fluoridation is a fact.
The pediatricians know. Ask them about this.
edhub.ama-assn.org/jn-learning/au…
The groundswell is growing.
The harm will continue.
🤰
Because of the commercial determinants of ill health demand it.
👿
Proponents of #fluoridation are, to say it kindly, misguided.
🚱
#TheyDontKnowAndTheyDoItAnyway

A sad but true #ThrowbackThursday.
One will probably never hear anyone say this about #fluoridation.
That would be grounds for legal action.
That's right, isn't it, #StannousFoilHat advocates of #fluoridation?
🤨
#TheTortBarBeckons
👩‍⚖️
#PreciousBodilyFluids are just that, especially for fetuses, neonates, & their siblings. Not to mention the poor Mom's who didn't know, because of commercial determinants of ill health.

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%."
onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…
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!'
womanandhome.com/health-wellbei…
Certainly not in a manner the patients get. And nothing about when, or even why they should clean their teeth.

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."

Give. 👏It. 👏Up.👏
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.

This ought to be fun. Sign up, #Calgary. Over 75 years of adding bio-available #fluorine to our diet & watershed in the #USA, and our teeth are in terrible shape.

The facts are plain and simple. #Fluoridation does not prevent tooth decay. #yyccc #yycvote #yycfluoride #fluoridefacts #ableg

<groan> The poor kids. Time for #prevention yet? Please? -|- "Sixty teeth removed from five children under five"
abc.net.au/news/2021-09-2…
"Appointments at Oral Health Tasmania are free for under 18s and $45 for adults with a healthcare card or pensioner concession card.

As of July, there were 17,838 people waiting for an appointment and last financial year the average wait-time was two years."
"They're choosing whether to eat or pay bills, or whether to maintain rental accommodation or take their kids to sport. They can't do all of it on their income that they have."
