Fluoride in water is safe and effective and improves a community’s health.

Dr. Denise Johnson is an obstetrician-gynecologist in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. She received her medical degree from Georgetown University School of Medicine and has been in practice for more than 20 years.Everyone knows you should brush and floss your teeth twice a day.

Because, after all, you cannot be truly healthy without good oral health. The health of our mouth is connected to the rest of our bodies, and dental disease can cause many other health issues, such as harming our heart and lungs, making diabetes harder to treat and affecting our ability to think as we age. That’s why it’s so important to maintain healthy teeth and gums.

The ability to work and provide for your family is tied to oral health as well. Due to society’s assumptions about appearance, adults with good oral health may have more job opportunities or earn more money than those with dental disease. In addition to this, dental disease can hurt our mental health, as it is one factor leading to low self-confidence and depression.

That's why I don't drink tap water. I don't want that poison

I cannot see any legitimate reason to put this stuff in our water supply. If you want fluoride you can get it from almost every toothpaste on the market.

Research the effects of Flouride on the human body and you'll see right away that there are at least 9 ways its dangerous with no benefits unlike we're told. Its known to be toxic to many organs, hindering their functions over time. Why is this poison being pushed on the public?

So not putting a poison in our drinking water is racist…

Stop putting stuff in our water supply.. if you want more of this chemical in your body put it there yourself.
