A member asked:
I want to know what do i tell my dentist if i don't want any fluoride related treatments ever again?

It's your right: Just say it straight out. Then discuss pros ; cons w your dentist who only has your best interests at heart. You have the right to refuse any and all treatment. Your dentist has the right not to treat you if you refuse to follow his/her advice. Know that Fluoride has safely resulted in a tremendous reduction in decayed, missing, and filled teeth. Fluoride works.
