Fluoride has been added to many drinking water supplies for decades, and while it's commonly believed to protect dental health, the truth is more complicated. If fluoride is harmful enough to cause poisoning when swallowed, why is it considered safe to drink in the water? This contradictory approach to fluoride calls for a reevaluation of its safety in public water systems.
There’s no doubt that excessive fluoride exposure has been linked to various health concerns, including cognitive issues and dental fluorosis. The presence of fluoride in everyday products, like toothpaste and tap water, poses a challenge in balancing its supposed benefits against its potential risks.
People are beginning to question the wisdom of fluoridating water when we are told to avoid swallowing fluoride toothpaste. It's essential to ask why we continue using fluoride in water and whether we should consider alternative methods for promoting oral health without exposing our bodies to unnecessary chemicals.
