The politics of water fluoridation
Oct 22 2009
→areas where older ppl had mottled teeth and the young did not,
→fluoride cause of the mottling and the change in the caries prevalence
→caries decline with increasing fluoride level up to 1 part per million, more than 1ppm fluoride leads to little change in the caries prevalence,
→diag: bottom fluoride in the water supply, y axis is DMF of children 12-14 yrs old, after 1ppm fluoride there is little change in the level of tooth decay, 1ppm small proportion of children have small mottling, above that the mottling increases, very mild mottling is small white spots on the teeth, mild mottling is larger white spots, moderate is small brown, severe mottled is larger brown marks and hyperplasia,

To the rght favors non fluor. The overall benefits to the areas that have been fluor.
→so far: the benefits where it is naturally to 1ppm, shows same benefits if adjusted artificially,
→benefits for children and adults,
→research against water fluoridation, need to look to see if articles are properly published
→post hoc: after the event therefore b/c of
