It's depressing to realise that so many scientists are perfectly willing to sell out fellow citizens - including children - for their proverbial pieces of silver.
I appreciate your posts. I retired after 45 years as an RDH last year. The last 10-12 years, since fluoride varnish became the norm, the pressure to have any adult patients get fluoride varnish (whether they had caries or not) was uncomfortable.

The story is all too familiar. BTW...there was a goofy typo in my original post that another reader brought to my attention. I have corrected :)

Thank you for the support. If you ever have a topic you think I should cover, please make a suggestion.
This is great stuff! I can’t wait to take a deeper dive. Thank you for sharing all of the links, especially about fluoride.
Sorry fluoric acid
Would be interesting to see a new study with an actual control group for fluoride study that didn't get any...
Will they start a new moniker for anti-fluoriders?
Actually, there should also be a control for people in the study who use a toothbrush with no toothpaste versus the others...
I think flossing is what really counts
These studies should be done! I think the water pik is the best tool out there.
That last image of insect poison says it all!
Fantastic essay!
Thank you!!
