Florida Dentist & Mom shares science and facts on the Hidden Dangers of Water Fluoridation
As both a Florida dentist and a mother, I’m bringing to the forefront something most families don’t even realize is quietly harming them every single day: fluoride in our water.
We’ve been told it’s “for our health.” We’ve been told it “prevents cavities.”, that “fluoride is like tooth vitamins”
But what we haven’t been told is that
fluoride is a known neurotoxin linked to a lower IQ in children, hormonal disruption, and bone disease.
And yet, it’s still being pumped into Florida’s public water systems without your consent.
Let me be clear: this is not just a dental issue, this is a whole-body, whole-family, whole-future crisis. And it’s time we talk about it.
A Public Health Band-Aid… That’s Making Us Sicker?
The public was sold a quick fix: “Let’s add fluoride to drinking water to stop tooth decay.” But what about addressing the real root causes?
Processed foods. Sugary diets. Environmental toxins. Poor education on nutrition and early childhood health has never been addressed to date… If anything, the food choices as well as the preponderance of sugary snacks and sodas available to school children nowadays is deplorable.
So instead, a toxic industrial byproduct into our water supply, a chemical that even toothpaste labels warn you to avoid swallowing.
And ironically? Tooth decay is still rampant. Over 47% of children still suffer from cavities, even in fluoridated communities.
So, tell me… is it working?
What the Science REALLY Says
You don’t have to take my word for it. The National Toxicology Program found strong evidence linking fluoride exposure to reduced IQ in children. Other peer-reviewed research shows fluoride accumulation in bones, the brain, and the thyroid.
Let’s do some simple logic:
Q: If fluoride helps teeth, why are we giving it to babies who have none?
Q: Why add it to the water system instead of applying it topically where it’s supposedly effective?
Q: Why is America one of the only developed nations still doing this?
Most countries have banned it. Yet here in the U.S., and shockingly, here in Florida specifically, the majority of local water systems do not fluoridate; however, the minority of systems that do, serve more than 70% of the state’s population.
The saddest part? Many of the most vulnerable children, low-income families, and people with chronic health conditions are exposed the most.
It’s Not Just What You Drink…
Think it only matters if you drink tap water? Think again.
Your skin, the body’s largest organ, absorbs fluoride every time you shower or bathe. Pregnant mothers, infants, elderly patients… we’re all taking in fluoride systemically.
And no, fluoride doesn’t pass through breast milk, but baby formula made with fluoridated water does. That means infants are being exposed at a time when their brains are their most vulnerable in their development .
Let that sink in.
The Cost of Doing Nothing
Some could argue that fluoride is “cheap prevention.” But the true definitive and silent costs are way, way higher than one could possibly perceive!
These include, but are certainly not limited to, increased special education needs, declining cognitive health, mounting healthcare bills for the elderly as well as our most vulnerable growing children. Pay now or pay later, it is a harmful and unnecessary toxic additive that is anything but cheap.
A mere five-point drop in IQ across a population translates into fewer skilled workers, increased dependency on social systems, and a generation less equipped to manage their health and lives.
This is the cost of ignoring science.
Enough Is Enough: Give Us the Right to Choose
The truth is, we were never given a choice.
Fluoride is automatically dumped into the water supply, without your informed consent, without warnings, and without options. That is not public health. That is forced medication.
If a dentist were to give you fluoride without asking, it would be malpractice. So why is it allowed on a mass scale?
What You Can Do
I’m asking every parent, every policymaker, every citizen who values health and freedom: wake up and take ownership of your own health care!
Do your research. Look beyond the outdated rhetoric. Ask the uncomfortable questions. Because what’s at stake is your health, your child’s brain, and your right to choose what goes into your body.
Let’s follow the science, not the system.
Let’s stop dumbing down our future, one drop at a time.
Share this. Speak up. Demand clean, fluoride-free and drug-free water for Florida and for that matter, our whole country. The rest of the world does!
At the very least, protect our children.
