Dentists began giving kids fluoride treatments. About 70% of community water systems in Florida receive fluoridated water, according to the surgeon general’s release. Parents said their kids’ teeth were full of cavities despite drinking and brushing regularly with what they thought for years was fluoridated water. Adding fluoride to water systems “mitigates the impact of disparities in access to dental care,” said Jetelina, the epidemiologist. “This is one of the beauties of public health — a mainly invisible population intervention, helping the most vulnerable.”Still, the scrutiny continues.

Major public health groups, including the American Dental Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, support the use of fluoridated water. “Drinking fluoridated water keeps teeth strong and reduces cavities,” the CDC said in a statement to NBC News. Within the past few months, local leaders in Collier County, Florida, and Amery, Wisconsin, voted to stop adding fluoride to public water systems. As of this year, nearly two-thirds of the U.S. population with public water access use drinking water with fluoride, according to the CDC. “If they didn’t get fluoridated water, they’d be more likely to get cavities.”The science behind fluorideThe fluoride issue goes well beyond medical freedom.

I was so angry at everyone for making her do that; she still believed he was coming home. I was raised by her and an aunt who didn’t have children of her own. My aunt encouraged me to start making music in my second year of junior high school. I produced this album [“Your Pain Shall Be Your Music”] (above, top left) in 1997 because singing only about happiness is boring. I used to be angry at my father for giving me my first name — “Yohji” is very difficult to write in kanji — but when I look at this, it has charm.
