Literally every single dentist I know would disagree with this.
- DiabloD3 8y agoYes, and you have to ask yourself why literally every single dentist you know has out of date education.
- devmunchies 8y agoLiterally every dentist would be out of a job if everyone had perfect teeth.
- Tomminn 8y agoSure, if everyone knew they had perfect teeth. But most people rely on their dentist for that kind of information. Which makes you wonder if your assertion would actually turn out to be true. Many naturopaths make a decent living.
- delbel 8y agoYeah so there's a vaccine that kills the bacteria that causes tooth decay, but you don't hear much about it That would definitely cause disruption in the dentist field if someone were to make it readily available
- sjwright 8y agoWhat an absurd straw-man argument. Nobody ever claimed fluoride solves all dental problems. Or even half of them.
- rsynnott 8y agoThat's because they're all part of an evil conspiracy, obviously ;) People are weird about dentists. Almost no-one is claiming, say, that penicillin doesn't do anything, or that doctors only tell you to stop smoking to hurt you. But when it comes to dental standard advice, people go nuts.
