Bump! Re: POLITICS: Help stop mandatory water fluoridation

[Guest guest]

One more thing, maybe ask the officials who people can sue if they

get weak hips and hip fractures later in life, and people who get

thyroid disorders from the fluoride. And people who get migranes

from it, and digestive problems. Some of those will result in lost

days from work and medical expenses.

Actually, I think the parents whose kids get stains on their teeth

from the fluoride ought to be able to get reimbursed as well, for all

the bleaching treatments they may have to pay for later in life.

Brown fluoride stains on the front teeth are UGLY and probably make

it harder for them to interview well, don't you think?

This site has some pictures:

Notice on the chart that the amount for infants and very young

children is MUCH lower than for anybody else. Yet it is the young

children that they claim are the ones who need it most - while the

teeth are forming. Also notice the amount that is too high is only

twice the recommended dose. So boiling the water for too long would

concentrate it to an overdose from evaporation!

This site has the cost of porcelain veneers:

How Much Do Porcelain Veneers Cost?

The cost of porcelain veneers depends on the number of teeth being

treated. Porcelain veneers generally cost from $700 to $2,000 per

tooth. When considering the cost of porcelain veneers, you must take

into account their longevity and attractiveness. Porcelain veneers

are long lasting alternatives to other treatments that cost less but

must be repaired more often and lose their cosmetic appeal more

quickly.

Maybe since the dentists want the fluoride in the water, they should

offer to give free porcelain veneers to anyone with fluorosis stains!
