pits and fissures 90 % of cavities, sealants best, fluoridation least effective

[ The TRUTH, ]

Water-Fluoridation "Is Least Effective" Where Cavities Are The Highest!
[ It's the PITS! ]

Where Cavities are the Highest in Children,
[ Sealants ]...Work Best!

NO NEED to POISON the WATER ANY LONGER!

Dr. Bull: "One thing that is a little hard to handle is the charge that fluoridation not needed. They talk of other methods, and when they get through adding up all the percentages of decay that we can reduce by such methods, we end up in a minus. When they take us at our own word they make awful liars out of us. And that will be brought up." YOU BET IT IS!

1951, The Fourth (4) Annual Conference of State Directors with The Public Health Service and The Children's Bureau: Dr. F. A. Bull, State Dental Director, Wisconsin, was the host.

Dr. BULL: "We are living down some past history a lot of us helped create. These fellows can just take the statements of the American Dental Association or the U.S. Public Health Service or the deans of dental schools or research workers around the country, and they can prove to you that we are absolutely crazy for even thinking about fluoridation. You are going to have to live that down. There is no way of avoiding it"

DR. BULL: "I wish I knew the answer to these questions. I don't know why they didn't include a letter from about two-thirds of the deans of the dental schools of the universities saying fluoride is rat poison and shouldn't be used."

Dr. BULL: "Now, in regard to toxicity, I noticed that Dr. Bain used the term "adding sodium fluoride." we never do that. That is rat poison. You add fluorides...

School-Based Sealant Programs Children receiving dental sealants...school-based programs have 60% fewer new decayed pit and fissure surfaces in back teeth for up to 2 to 5 years after a single application. Among children, 90% of decay is in pits and fissures. http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/pefactsheets/peo h.htm	Among children, 90% of decay is in pits and fissures.

	"The type of caries now seen in British Columbia's children of 13 years of age, is mostly the pit and fissure type. Knudsen in 1940, suggested that 70 percent of the caries in children was in pits and fissures. Recent reports indicate that today, 83 percent of all caries in North American children is of this type. Pit and fissure cavities aren't considered to be preventable by fluorides, they are prevented by sealants." Source: Fluoridation: Time For A New Base Line? A.S.

* The dental community concedes that fluoride is largely ineffective at preventing the most common type of cavity - Pit & Fissure Decay - which accounts for upwards of 85% of dental decay now experienced in the US. (7) Pit & fissure decay is decay that occurs in the crevices of a tooth's chewing surface. http://www.fluoridealert.org/fluoride-facts.h tm	[ The Big Lie ] About Water Fluoridation-1951 We have told the public it works, So We Can't Go Back On That.

	"The program focused on four caries-prevention techniques: sealants, a plastic-like coating applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth and to pits and fissures on the sides of teeth (these surfaces are most prone to decay and ones which fluorides cannot protect adequately."
