Tooth decay: a sad national epidemic caused by lack of dentists who care and not a fluoride need. Extensive lobbying, political maneuvering and expensive public relations campaigns by organized dentistry sway legislators to add fluoride chemicals into public water supplies, 2/3 of which already are, to benefit those whom dentists neglect. Protecting their high-salaried monopoly, dentists lobby against dental groups offering quality, cheaper fixes. Fluoride product makers benefit most.

Despite Michigan's 89% fluoridation rate, "over half of all third grade children age 6-8 years had experienced dental caries in primary or permanent teeth. Twenty five percent have untreated dental decay and 28% of children bear 75% of teeth affected by dental caries"
