A new report reminds us that tooth decay is the most common chronic disease both globally and here in America. Prevention is key. https://t.co/MNm0SPSB4b

1/4: @FastCompany should stick to business and marketing. This article shows it isn’t prepared to report accurately about science and public health. Its headline is classic click-bait as I explain in this thread:

Opponents of water fluoridation typically point to Canadian studies as support. But a new analysis finds that those studies measured fluoride and IQ scores in ways that "are invalid."

I urge colleagues to read the new analysis (full text): https://t.co/ql3IF97V4K

@JohnJHarwood @isaiahrmartin The idea that the Democrats wanted the IRS funded so they could send agents after the middle class was always a lie. A disinformation campaign meant to distract from the real goal of protecting Republican donors. It’s about protecting THEIR money not YOURS

[Bill Maas @wmaas73]

@mattindctweets That is an inconvenient truth. I believe the appropriations bill the House passed this month removes funding from the CDC program that keeps track of firearm deaths.

1/2: Fluoridated water reduces tooth decay by 25%. A new study reinforces confidence in its safety, reporting “fluoride exposure relevant to community water fluoridation is not associated with lower IQ scores in children.” https://t.co/ODrrxnUFej #fluoride

[Bill Maas @wmaas73]

State College policymakers made a decision based on what we now know to be flawed research. Discontinuation of water fluoridation won't protect anyone because it wasn't harming anyone in the first place.

[Juliet Guichon @JulietGuichon]

State College, PA lost fluoridation relying on reports @YorkUniversity and @SFU. 44% of SC residents live with poverty. Can the Canadian universities reckon with the harm? Is Mercola happy? @StateCollegecom @centredaily @RachelAbramsNY @fearloathingbtx

Many very effective dental disease prevention services can be provided by healthcare workers who are less expensive to train and sustain than dentists.

If more dentists mean better oral health, then Chile, Argentina and Uruguay must have almost zero oral diseases! (From the WHO Global Oral Health Report 2022) #oralhealth #GlobaloralHealthReport

My brother is on day 3 of ICU care for a dental abscess. He will continue to be intubated for 2-3 more days if all goes well. Seems to me that #universaldentalcare would be more cost effective. This is impacting so much more than his teeth.

[Matthew Jacob 🇺🇦 @mattindctweets]

Health misinformation enables Covid to spread. It also prompts cities to make bad decisions about dental health. A new study shows tooth decay has risen significantly in Calgary since the city ended water fluoridation: https://t.co/VsuRC2WUk7 #yyc #fluoride

[Bill Maas @wmaas73]

Local water personnel work hard to provide their communities with tap water that is safe
and healthy. Most cites and towns add some fluoride to help protect teeth from cavities.
