SCARSDALE, N.Y. - The Scarsdale Water Department received a certificate of appreciation from the county's Board of Health Friday for treating its water supply with fluoride.
The county applauded Scarsdale and six other water suppliers for "protecting the public's health," the county said in a statement.
“Community water fluoridation is the single most effective public health measure available to prevent tooth decay in both adults and children,” said Westchester County Health Commissioner Dr. Sherlita Amler. “It is safe, effective and inexpensive and it allows all residents of a
community, regardless of their ability to pay for routine dental care, to benefit from the significant protection that fluoride offers."
Amler said 83 percent of Westchester residents receive fluoridated water.
"Water fluoridation saves money by reducing the cost of dental treatment among children and youth," she said. "Studies also have shown it can reduce tooth decay by 29 percent in children and by 25 percent in adults. And it’s been proven safe at the levels allowed in public water supplies.”
The other water suppliers who received certificates are Northern Westchester Joint Water Works, New Castle
Stanwood Water District, Ossining Water Department, White Plains Water Bureau, Westchester Joint Water Works and Yorktown Consolidated Water District #1. They were recognized for maintaining and upgrading their fluoridation equipment. The certificates were presented at the Westchester County Board of Health
meeting today in White Plains.

After decades of water fluoridation/pollution in every state of Australia first commencing in Tasmania (Beaconsfield) in 1953 we are in absolute dental crisis - as is the USA after up to 67 years of it. Water fluoridation/pollution is not safe and not effective and the Dental Industries continue to grow charging amounts for dental care that is becoming out of reach for more of the population than ever before -in Brisbane for instance, just to have one 'filling' ranges from $160.00 up to $300 or $400.00 depending on the size of the cavity ! If ordinary people without health care cards have toothache if you haven't got this huge amount of money to pay for fillings tough luck - and public dental waiting lists (people with health care cards) with variable waiting lists for different dental problems. FLUORIDATION/POLLUTION IS AN ABSOLUTE FRAUD and must be banned everywhere permanently and irrevocably.
This from Dr. Young IS TOTALLY UNTRUE FROM THE FLUORIDATION PROPAGANDA MACHINE/WEB OF DECEPTION:- Dr Young said fluoridation was one of the few areas in medicine that was "absolutely black and white" and pointed to Townsville as a prime example.
"Townsville has had fluoride in its water supply since 1964 and the only difference between Townsville and the rest of the state was that they had far better teeth," she said.
"Numerous studies have shown kids in Townsville have between 40-60% less tooth decay."
NOW FOR THE TRUTH:- ** go here > http://fluorideinformationaustralia.wordpress.com/ama-ada-dentists/ada-usa-au-ama/
See documents under Townsville - read everything but take particular note in the Response to claims Townsville fluoridated since 1965 residents have been guinea pigs for fluoridation - note the Media Release from Minister for Tourism, Regional Development and Industry Dec. 4, 2007
Townsville school kids to trial a treatment to stop tooth rot !!!!! - water fluoridation/pollution is not effective and it's certainly not safe - and this is in addition to having multiple dental vans visiting the schools and a very lucrative DENTAL INDUSTRY - get the picture??

Addition: Also from Document by Glen Walker The Fluoridation Hoax Box – How Dangerous Can they Get? November - Dec. 2004 - Brief Extract: When the Brisbane Lord Mayor’s Task Force researched fluoridation during 1997 the ADA presented their claims which were supported with a study by Spencer, Davies, Stewart and Slade (Adelaide University) .
“Caries experiences among children in fluoridated Townsville and unfluoridated Brisbane” Published in Australian and New Zealand journal of Public Health 1966. Vol. 20 No. 6.
Reading their 7 page official dossier presented to The Lord Mayor’s Task Force on Fluoridation, one finds on page 1:
“Riordon reported on 11-12 year olds with different fluoride exposures in West Australia. “
“He found higher caries prevalence in the permanent dentition in children in unfluoridated Bunbury than in children in fluoridated Perth”.
So, on page one we find this study comparing populations of significant differences, a matter of failure to comply with rules of statistics which state such studies must be performed only with very similar populations.
It is not scientifically acceptable to compare populations of such differences as Perth 1,244,320, Bunbury 28,000, and also at the same time be aware and consider the socio-economic factor that was also significantly different.
Their main dental data related to Brisbane and Townsville, but here again we find a scientific and statistical error in comparing two cities of such different population and socio-economic differences.
The population Factor
Brisbane 1,000,000 - Townsville 90,000
However, the authors after attempting a favourable fluoridation outcome with the Lord Mayor’s Task Force, expected the Committee to vote accordingly to fluoridate Brisbane’s drinking water supplies. The quality of their presentation collapsed on the final page of their “Research”.
“A difference of 0.25 (one quarter) surface in the permanent dentition probably constitutes a minor effect at the level of an individual patient in the age range studied here”.
On this kind of official dental study showing a difference of one quarter of a tooth surface per child, we now find the fluoride pushers want another similar study in Brisbane (Courier Mail 21st July, 2004).

The ADA President is quoted in the Tasmanian Advocate 4th May, 2001 as follows:- “Tasmania is on the brink of a dental crisis” That statement of a dental crisis after almost 50 years of compulsory fluoridation. Last year, people in Burnie, Tasmania, were walking the streets collecting signatures on a petition to the Tasmanian Government demanding relief from 5 years waiting lists for dental treatment. That is after 50 yeas compulsory mass medicating the population with fluoridating Tasmania’s drinking water supplies and stating “there will never be dental decay problems in Tasmania”…………

Tucson study finds fluoride promotes tooth decay – 1992 Those promoting the concept of water fluoridation maintain that the presence of fluoride in the human diet, whether in public water supplies, food, beverages or from other sources, assists in the prevention of dental caries (cavities). After conducting two years of research on the subject, contacting numerous organizations and pouring through mountains of scientific reports and documents, I could find no credible data supporting this conclusion. In fact, I found exactly the opposite was the case. It explains why the American Dental Association and the National Institute for Dental Research have always supported fluoridation of the population. Aside from the issues of cancer, mutagenicity, osteoporosis and behavior control, one of the results of fluoridation is that it actually creates more cavities in order to support the dental profession. Where's the proof?
According to Cornelius Steelink, Professor Emeritus at the Department of Chemistry at the University of Arizona, who was intimately involved in the debate to fluoridate the water of Tucson, when the incidence of tooth decay versus fluoride content in a child's drinking water was examined in Tucson, a city with discreate geographic areas of groundwater with both high fluoride content (0.8ppm) and low content (0.3ppm), a positive correlation was revealed. Dental screening was conducted of 26,000 elementary school children. When the incidence of tooth decay was plotted against the fluoride content of the water, it was discovered that the more fluoride a child drank, the more cavities appeared in the teeth.
The fluoride debate in Tucson started when the local county board of health, soon joined by state and federal "public health" organizations, requested that the city of Tucson add fluoride to the drinking water. The city referred the mattter to the subcommittee chaired by Dr. Steelink. The subcommittee also discovered that a large population of poor children would get no benefit from optimum fluoride in the water, as the largest factors in tooth decay (besides processed foods and sugar) were lack of access to dental facilties, poverty and poor oral hygiene. In it's final report, the subcommittee stated that "there was no obvious relation of fluoride content in municipal water to the prevention of tooth decay in Tucson" and "because there are multiple causes of tooth decay, a decision to fluoridate would still leave pockets of poor dental health." Furthermore, it was reported that "children, who lived in a fluoridated community, had 11 times the odds of developing fluorosis."
Studies of young males and fluoridated water have produced some interesting results. A February 1991 U.S. Public Health Service study linked fluoridated water to bone cancer in young males in Seattle, Washington and Iowa. A New Jersey Department of Health Study in November 1992 found bone cancer rates among young males to be six times higher in fluoridated than in non-fluoridated communities.

Dental Crisis in America - After 67 years of water fluoridation foisted upon Americans by the American Dental Association and its constituents groups, a Dental Crisis exists in America. Senator Sanders introduced legislation to remedy this situation which is endorsed by 37 groups but not the ADA because it includes funding for Dental Therapists which would infringe upon dentists lucrative monopoly. The ADA prefers fluoridation because it doesn't stop tooth decay and doesn't hurt their bottom line. In fact, dentists are making lots of money covering up fluoride-stained teeth with expensive veneers because American children are now over-fluoridated with up to 60% affected with dental fluorosis - white spotted, yellow, brown and/or pitted teeth. Veneers cost about $1,000.00 a tooth. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oaINr51MrM

For some Americans, dental care means a sturdy chair, a fluoride swish, and a free toothbrush. But for one in three Americans, it's a nightmare, including astronomical bills, crippling credit card debt, panicked visits to the emergency room, and life-threatening disease. These hardships are chronicled in a new Frontline documentary, Dollars and Dentists, which airs tonight on PBS stations. Frontline correspondent Miles O’Brien takes us behind the scenes of the documentary that explores America's broken dental system. Frontline is produced by our partner WGBH.

Overcrowded Emergency Rooms In Central Texas - Fluoridated Austin, Texas Wednesday, November 22, 2006
Jenny Pearson knows her tooth abscess could be better treated at a dentist, the problem is she couldn't get a dentist to accept her medicaid despite her pain. “Sitting there in tears telling her I hurt, she said go to the hospital,” Pearson said. “I can't do nothing for you.” So Pearson turned to the ER, the only place by federal law that cannot turn her away . She first took the bus to Brackenridge. They were also busy. “We sat there for five hours and called a friend to come get me,” Pearson said. “He brought me here.” This is actually Pearson's second time to come to the emergency room for her tooth abscess, a problem that needs follow up at a dentists office. “She has made every effort on her part to try and arrange for proper follow up care and she got rejected because of her Medicaid and so she's back now in the emergency department with her face all swollen up and again,” said Dr. Corey Jones St. David's Hospital’s chief of emergency medicine. “This is not the place to be because we're not oral surgeons.” In Texas, dentists don't accept Medicaid from adults, but accessing dental care is not the only problem.

Austin Texas Dentist Condemns Fluoridation Sunday, January 09, 2011
This is an excerpt from an ABC Radio News story:
Dr. Griffin Cole, a Dentist in Fluoridated Austin, Texas, said he has seen several cases of mild to severe fluorosis in his practice. While he applauded the feds' proposal [to lower water fluoride levels], he'd like to see the recommendations go even lower. "I still don't think it's enough, honestly," he said. "I don't think there should be fluoride in the water at all. "I think it's a nice move in the right direction," he said. Cole said he began his dentistry career in the early 1990s, working for a dentist who was open minded about fluoride use and believed that his patients were getting too much. Cole said he had never once prescribed fluoride supplements to his patients. He cited studies from the past decade that have linked excess fluoride to not only fluorosis but to higher instances of bone cancer in the test subjects. He also said osteoporosis was an additional concern, since ingested fluoride is known to sit in a person's bones. "Ingesting fluoride in any form does nothing for your teeth," he said. In cases of "rampant" tooth decay, applying a topical fluoride can improve dental health, but only minimally. Fluoride, Cole said, molds to the tooth's enamel. So while it will aid in preventing decay, it can also make teeth brittle. "When you see a case of somebody coming in with bad fluorosis, to restore those teeth you either have to crown them completely or at least do a veneer," he said. "So it's a very costly thing to fix." Depending on the dentist and the region of the country, restoration could cost between $900 and $1,600 a tooth.

Kentucky 100% Fluoridated - Oral Crisis !!!!!!
WILLIAMSBURG, Ky. (AP) – Twelve-year-old Jordan Rickett nervously waited his turn in the Whitley County Central Elementary School gym, watching as a classmate seated in a dental chair got his teeth examined. "He’s sure been there a long time," Jordan said, fidgeting. "I hope it doesn’t take that long for me." For children in parts of rural Kentucky where dentists are in short supply, the dentists come to them. A specially equipped truck packed with portable chairs, lights, tables and instruments rolls into school gyms as part of Seal Kentucky, a program aimed at improving access to dental care for underserved children. Jordan had four teeth sealed that day; the boy ahead of him, 11-year-old Larry Angel, had 15 that needed sealing. "Oral disease is reaching a crisis level for children across the country and here in Kentucky," said Jim Cecil, administrator of Oral Health Programs for the Kentucky Department of Public Health.
"There are a lot of places, Appalachia being one, where kids do not always get the dental care that they need, which can cause health, social and financial problems as they get older." Dr. Raynor Mullins and as many as a dozen student dentists from the University of Kentucky hit the road with everything they need to support a seven-chair dental clinic. Two students work at each of six stations, with the seventh normally set up for a volunteer dentist. They apply sealants to help children prevent cavities. They do basic screenings to provide reports to parents about any serious dental problems. "It’s a lot of fun to get out and actually see patients after weeks of work in a classroom," said Heather Erbe, 23, of Lexington. "For most of us, this is our first experience with patients and the first chance to see and do some of the things we’ve been taught." Once the work is completed, Mullins or another faculty member examines each child to make sure the work has been done correctly or to consult on more serious problems – such as cavities or gum disease. "It’s really great working with the kids – never boring," said 22-year-old Regina Liford of Laurel County, who started working as a dental assistant in high school before deciding to pursue dental school at the university.
"A lot of times, kids have a bad experience with the dentist when they are young and become afraid to go back. I think it is easier for them in this situation because it is noninvasive work being done by people who are closer to their own age." Seal Kentucky was modeled after the Cincinnati health department’s dental sealant program. It targets second and sixth graders to seal molars when they have fully developed. Depending on the number of students to be served in a given school, students from other grades also are eligible to receive screenings and sealants, which normally cost between $40 and $60 each. Schools are recommended to the program based on the numbers of children eligible for reduced or free school lunches or the Medicaid and Kentucky Children’s Health Insurance programs. The goals of the dental program include increasing access to preventive services and increasing public awareness of the value of dental sealants, which prevent plaque from getting down into the natural grooves of teeth and growing into cavities.
Mullins, chief of the College of Dentistry’s Division of Dental Public Health, said the program also teaches youngsters the importance of oral health and frequent trips to the dentist. "It’s a mindset, really," Mullins said. "I mean, if you had a finger that was rotting, you’d get it taken care of, right? As stereotypical as it sounds, there’s a lot of people who just do not take oral health as seriously as they should. "If we can plant positives about oral health in the minds of these children at a young age, they’ll be more comfortable with trips to the dentist and continue to take care of their teeth as they get older." http://www.fluoridealert.org/news/fluoridated-kentucky-part-of-the-oral-health-crisis/
96% Fluoridated Georgia - About 4,000 people stood in line at First Baptist Church of Woodstock Friday morning for a free dental clinic.
The clinic is providing free dental services to adults who cannot afford them, according to the Georgia Dental Association. The 1,000 dentists, hygienists and dental assistants volunteering at the event hope to treat 2,000 people on Friday and Saturday. Patients are being treated on a first-come, first-served basis. Those who cannot be seen Friday can be treated on Saturday, but they will have to stay in line all night, according to Dr. Richard Smith, one of the dentists participating in the clinic. Police cut off the line at 7:30 a.m. Friday. http://www.11alive.com/news/article/201349/1/Thousands-line-up-for-free-dental-clinic

'Serious Public Health Problem' - Tooth Decay - Ohio ‘Fluoridated’ (92% - 2012)
Tooth decay is the nation's most common chronic childhood disease, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It leads to problems with eating, speaking and the ability to learn, as well as pain, poor self-esteem and more than 51 million missed school hours each year, according to the U.S. Surgeon General. In Ohio, more than one-fourth of all third-graders had untreated tooth decay in 2007, according to a survey conducted by the state health department. Nearly a fourth of the state's children, or 633,000, lacked dental insurance, and 15 percent had never been to a dentist, a 217 percent increase over 2002. In Montgomery County, 20,000 children last year had never been to a dentist and nearly 28,000 didn't have dental insurance.That worries Womack and other dentists, who say untreated tooth decay can lead to more serious infections that require costlier care, often in emergency rooms and at taxpayers' expense.
In Deamonte Driver's case, the youth's tooth decay progressed to a brain infection after his mother couldn't find a primary care dentist willing to accept his Maryland Medicaid plan. Two brain surgeries later, he died. His emergency treatment cost $250,000, according to the Maryland health department. Treating his toothache would have cost less than $100. "It's a serious public health problem," said Dr. Paul Casamassimo, professor of pediatric dentistry at Ohio State University and a spokesman for the American Academy of Pediatric Dentists. "Until the Medicaid reimbursement rates begin to approach that of what dentists can make in private practice with an insured or cash-patient population, things will not get better, things will not change”.

"Lindy Cree, president of the Dental Center of Northwest Ohio, said her staff sees children and teens every day who are suffering severe pain and embarrassment from decay, abscesses and gum disease. Sometimes, the problem is money; other times, it's a family's lack of awareness." Either way, the children pay. "They don't know that it shouldn't hurt to eat," Cree said. "But a cavity doesn't heal itself." A 9 year old was at the clinic yesterday, getting a filling for a small cavity and spacers for the braces she needs. She was brave and quiet amid 17 bustling dental stations, some of them filled with sobbing children who hurt. One family had driven two hours from southern Ohio to get help for their children, whose decay was so severe that they must return for surgical procedures. Source: http://fluoridenews.blogspot.com/

NOTE WELL – Springfield Missouri Fluoridated
Springfield Dentists to Decide What to Do With 3000 Pulled Teeth
Springfield, Missouri – After the free dental clinic this weekend local dentist have to decide what to do with nearly 3000 pulled teeth. The dentists are submitting ideas at their super-secret dentist meetings this Thursday in the basement of Richard’s Candy House (which they super secretly own to drum-up more business). The ideas range from the absurd to the grotesque, to the perfectly sensible and back to grotesque.
Ideas include; a fun ball pit filled with teeth; giving to wedding patrons to throw instead of rice; give it to tiny scrimshaw artists, and create a tooth powered car/speed boat.
“The debate got pretty heated, says Dr. Eugene Forester. “Of course we had to give the tooth fairy his cut. We don’t want to go against the family. My vote? Foxy tooth wrestling. It’s like mud wrestling, but with teeth instead of mud. And with glasses-wearing, tightly-wound, dentist assistants wearing nothing but lab coats.”
The teeth are now being stored in a Scrooge McDuck-like tower where the dentist have fun diving in, spitting teeth at each like it is water, and relaxing on an inner tube.
“We don’t know what we are going to do with it, but it will be awesome. I mean that’s why we did this whole thing in the first place,” states Forester.
The final decision will be made by the high council of dental elders: a super-secret syndicate of the best dentist from around the Ozarks, which means your 10 o’clock teeth cleaning appointment will be 15 minutes late.

Grand Rapids, Michigan first city to be ‘fluoridated’ in USA in 1945 is also in absolute dental crisis – this same scenario in all long time fluoridated areas. USA in dental Crisis after 67 years of ‘water fluoridation’.
Children are showing high rates of tooth decay and dental fluorosis. According to the Grand Rapids Press, one Pediatric Dentist said in 2007 “…we see children under the age of 2 with active decay…Rather than just a few cavities, we're seeing a lot of cavities. It's not unusual to see a child with 8 to 10 cavities."
America’s children are fluoride-overdosed with almost half of all adolescents afflicted with dental fluorosis, white spotted, yellow, brown and/or pitted teeth. Tooth decay has increased in toddlers, untreated tooth decay is epidemic, more dental schools are opening and more dental professionals have been created. Emergency rooms are flooded with patients in dental pain because 80% of dentists refuse to treat Medicaid patients and half of all Americans don’t have dental insurance. Those that have insurance can’t afford the out-of-pocket expenses. And Americans have died from the consequences of untreated tooth decay. More information here: Fluoride Dangers Blogspot

This is a publicity stunt taxpayers fund because our government needs to protect fluoride's image. Aren't water engineers supposed to get fluoride levels correct? Isn’t that their job? Do they get chlorine or sodium hydroxide awards too? No, they don’t.
Many communities are rejecting fluoridation because science shows ingesting fluoride is ineffective at reducing tooth decay, harmful to health, unethical and a waste of money.
New York State communities which have already stopped or rejected fluoridation include: Suffolk, Nassau & Rockland counties, Albany, Elba, Naples, Levittown, Canton, Corning, Johnstown, Oneida, Carle Place, Beacon, Poughkeepsie, Riverhead, Central Bridge Water District, Homer, Ithaca, Rouses Point, Pulaski, Romulus and Amsterdam.
People need to demand that fluoridation be stopped! Your local water department will probably thank you because fluoridation chemicals are among the most hazardous, toxic chemicals on the planet.
The only beneficiaries are those corporations that sell fluoride products. As long as you don't know fluoride is harmful, you'll keep buying into fluoridation schemes.
Hundreds of communities across the US have rejected fluoridation. Many are challenging it today. Legislation was introduced in NYC to stop fluoridation, also. Wichita, Kansas voted 60 to 40% to reject fluoridation efforts. Residents of Portland Oregon just collected over 40,000 petition signatures to force a referendum when their city council quietly tried to mandate fluoridation.
You should join these progressive communities and demand that your government stop wasting your money on ineffective, harmful fluoride chemicals and the upkeep of the infrastructure and equipment it requires
