Last fall, a federal judge ruled that fluoride in drinking water poses an “unreasonable risk” to children's developing brains - a landmark decision rooted in science and a validation of what biological dentists like Dr. Rebecca Taylor of Green City Dental has been saying for years. In this latest episode of Your Mouth Matters, Dr. T is joined by her biological dental hygienist Barbara Tritz (a/k/a “The Queen of Dental Hygiene”) to discuss the facts about fluoride and the policy shifts we've seen since that ruling was handed down. They explore how this toxin can impact everything from thyroid function to fertility to gut health to brain development. Over 72 human studies document fluoride's negative health effects, most alarmingly showing it can reduce children's IQ by up to seven points.All this is particularly alarming when you consider, as Dr. T and Barbara do, two fundamental problems with fluoridation: the absence of informed consent and the inability to control the dose. Adding fluoride to the water supply means medicating entire populations without consideration for the vulnerable, such as infants on formula or those with kidney issues. Fortunately, there are practical alternatives for concerned listeners, and the team offer their recommendations for fluoride-free remineralizing dental products, quality home filtration systems, and community advocacy. As more communities reconsider fluoridation policies, this episode provides timely insights for anyone questioning what's really in their water and dental products.Green City Dental: https://greencitydental.com/ Barbara Tritz, RDH: https://queenofdentalhygiene.net/
