Louisiana May Mandate Fluoridation Despite Evidence of Harm Ignoring scientific evidence of harm, the Louisiana State Senate passed a fluoridation mandate bill which, if approved by the House, will require fluoride chemicals be added to most of Louisiana's public water supplies, ostensibly to reduce tooth decay.
However, a 2006 review of fluoride toxicology literature conducted by the prestigious National Research Council (NRC) reveals that ingested fluoride, even at low levels used for fluoridation, poses risks to infants, diabetics, kidney patients, high water drinkers and those with low thyroid function. Many cities are stopping fluoridation.
States slowly make schools require dental exams "I have memories of 10 or 12 times when I panicked when I saw the child," said Dr. Beverly A. Largent, a dentist specializing in children's teeth for 23 years in the rural Kentucky town of [fluoridated] Paducah. Especially in poor urban and rural areas nationwide, children often only get dental care when the pain and swelling are too much to bear, she said.
"I have seen children with their eyes swollen shut," said Largent, president of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. A week ago she was in the hospital treating a child with multiple cavities when she got an emergency call from a mother whose child's face was swollen and had to be taken to the emergency room.
