Now I know we are all different species of bought-and-paid-for industry shills. For the dentists, exhibit A is dental products, B is fluorIdation, C is mercury amalgams and root canals.
Exhibit B: fluoride
In America, phosphate fertilizer companies dispose of their industrial waste fluoride by putting it into our drinking water. These companies heavily subsidize the American Dental Association, which in return promotes fluoridation.
Swartz (below) writes, "The more [fluoride] is used, the greater the damage to the central nervous system.[145] It should never be used in dentistry or in any product. Putting it in drinking water is criminal… It does not prevent tooth decay. It causes dental problems over time." Fluoride has also been conclusively proven to significantly lower children's IQs.
The best way to understand these issues is through the Fluoride Action Network. They are pursuing fluoridators through the US federal courts. In a recent victory, the judge on the case released the summary of the expert science that condemned fluoride use. Biden officials, including Rachel Levine, a transgender admiral and later Secretary of Health, are involved in the litigation on the wrong side.
Seventy percent of US communities are victimized by fluoride, but most of the world has banned it. In Europe, for example, 97% of the countries choose not to fluoridate drinking water. If you live in the USA, you must cleanse your water of fluoride using filters or reverse osmosis systems such as Culligan's.
Exhibit C: Amalgam "silver" dental fillings and mercury root canals
Amalgams are a pre-Civil War technology that should be outlawed. Half of US dentists acknowledge this and never use them because of the well-known health hazards of their mercury, which has no safe dose. This type of filling is inexpensive and thus more profitable for dentists than newer technologies, so ignorant or unscrupulous practitioners often put them into poor or Medicaid patients. Many dental schools and the American Dental Association have never recognized these dangers and continue to promote mercury fillings against the established science.
