“Harmful”
Although fluoride can kill bacteria, especially at high levels, it is used in oral health to prevent dental enamel, while promoting dental levels, the ADA clarifies.
Ada says the best way to get fluoride is with drinking water. But supplements are a safe alternative if a child lives in an area without fluoride water or if he drinks mostly bottle water. In view of a large -scale false and controversial claim about fluoride, more communities are now abandoning it. This week, Florida became the second state after Utah to ban the state.
“Yes, use fluoride for your teeth, okay,” Florida Government Ron Dysntis said at a news conference after signing a ban in law. “But being forced into water supply is primarily forced to medicine people. They have no choice.”
Ada’s President Brett Castler is concerned that if supplements are banned, what children will do in places like Utah and Florida. “Non -Floridated Communities, especially in rural areas, are the only opportunity for fluoride supplements,” Castler said in a statement. He added that the move was “especially the weakest and harmful to those who have no access to care.”
While Macri said that the FDA will take a protective review of fluoride supplements, the result is being predicted, HHS has written that it is already “initiating action” to remove the product.
Ada noted that places that have removed fluoride from drinking water, such as Calgary, CanadaAnd Jonao, AlaskaParticularly in children and low -income populations have seen an increase in dental elimination.
“Such suggestions do not make them healthy, to hurt rural America,” said Casler.
