Risk Factor #1: Chemical Profile of Fluoride Fluoride is chemically synthesized for use in artificial water fluoridation, dental products, and other manufactured items. Other than its natural existence in minerals, fluoride is also chemically synthesized for use in artificial water fluoridation, dental products, and other manufactured items. Fluoride is not essential for human growth and development. In fact, fluoride has been identified as one of 12 industrial chemicals known to cause developmental neurotoxicity in humans.

There are many reasons to oppose water fluoridation, including safety concerns and health risks. Reason #1 to Oppose Water Fluoridation: Fluoridation is a violation of the individual’s right to informed consent to medication. Within a community water supply, fluoride is being added to the water of everyone, even if some people do not want it and still others do not even know about the fluoride being added to the water or about its health risks. Informed consumer consent is needed for water fluoridation, especially because of the alarming lack of safety for this [...]
IAOMT promotes oral health integration While periodontal disease is accepted by the medical community for its role in cardiovascular problems and diabetes, the effects of other dental conditions and materials on whole body health have yet to be extensively recognized. However, since the mouth is the gateway to the digestive tract, it should not be surprising that what happens in the oral cavity impacts the rest of the body (and vice versa, as in the case of diabetes). Although it might seem obvious that dental conditions and materials can influence the entire human system, [...]

A more biocompatible approach to oral health is the hallmark of biological [...]
