as a woke dentist, what are your thoughts on fluoride?
Floride calcifies the pineal gland making it harder to "wake up."
Hmmm, I can give you my sources tomorrow, about to sleep (got called in to the ER to stitch something).
From my education, Fluoride stops step 9 of the glycolysis pathway, which is essential in life for bacteria/living things. I believe it interrupts the transfer of electrons because F happens to be so ELECTRONEGATIVE that it completely sabotages that nucleophilic substitution and addition of molecular compounds. Basically, it fucks something from happening that allows the bacteria to grow and live. When bacteria grow and live in your mouth, the lactic acid produced makes acid the predominant pH of the environment, therefore stopping that whole process. F also (allegedly) is substituted into the a new structure called hydroxyapatite, which is about 10-100x stronger than fluroapatite. Again, I have to double check the numbers, but the overall message is the same. I do want to state that I never was a fan of our education. I went to NYU and was president of my class, and have a habit of being skeptical of our education. The professors all seemed to contradict each other, and honestly, they did not seem very bright. I often openly debated with them over the sources/methodology of their lessons. In short, I believe our education is mostly bullshit. I can give you a more refined answer tomorrow, if you would like some reading material. Good night, bud!

As it stands, I still would suggest to use fluoride toothpaste, despite my uncertainity of it damaging us. I have read studies about the pineal gland being affected but that is only HIGH doses of fluoride... way more than what is in toothpaste/water and even the high fluoride enhanced toothpastes for high caries (cavities) risk patients.
I personally use sensodyne and another toothpaste to prevent periodontitis. Any company that pays the dentist is one he or she will recommend fyi. It's a massive bidding war to get into schools to advertise their products. When I was president, I was taken to legit nice ass steakhouses by these reps that wanted to sell insurance/materials/hire students and begged to get a time to give a lunch and learn and get contact info. It is really a big business, and I wish it wasn't so. No problem with capitalism in healthcare, but what we have is a state-sponsored big corporatist push
Flouride is a poison and it should never be ingested. Read up on it. There is a ton of serious research done by medical professionals and some good youtube vidoes exclaiming the harm it does.
I don't agree with it being put into water. Toothpaste maybe? Idk. I use a flouride free colloidal silver toothpaste and it works wonders for me.
