Bring back measles! Rubella, polio and smallpox, too! And get rid of autism in the process. Win-win.

If we all pray, we can eradicate those diseases anyway, in place of vaccines.

No need for science or data, just vibes.

Hope everyone has dental insurance and enjoys their $100 fluoride treatment once every six months!

Just pray.  Prayer will solve all their answers.  And dentures, but prayer mostly

Fight about the election somewhere where it's allowed - assuming policy hasn't changed here.

Probably should move this to the investing thread.  Incredible opportunity to get in early on companies involved with the dental and oral surgery community

ACT mouthwash, if anyone lives in a backwards state.

And if you want to aim for a discount at your dentist, consider licking their fingers. Dentists like that.

Come on, 43 million people in the USA is rural on wells.  No fluoride in them.  Brush regularly with a good fluoride toothpaste and you are fine.

Missouri officers accused of pulling over women, searching phones for nude pictures

https://apnews.com/article/missouri-officers-indicted-nude-photos-7f489530022d7b7664c9567ecbd4cb9b?

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Two Missouri police officers were indicted separately this week and accused of similar crimes — pulling over women and searching their phones to find nude photos.

The indictments of former Missouri State Highway Patrol officer David McKnight on Tuesday and former Florissant, Missouri, officer Julian Alcala on Wednesday were unrelated, but the indictments spelled out similar allegations. Both men face federal charges accusing them of depriving the rights of several women, and destroying evidence.

McKnight, 39, victimized nine women between September 2023 and Aug. 19, his indictment said. Typically, according to the indictment, he would pull over a woman for a traffic violation and tell her he needed to look at her phone to either verify identity or confirm insurance coverage.

McKnight searched the phones and used his own phone to photograph nude pictures he found, the indictment said.

However, well water does not contain fluoride. Thus, when parents come in for a check up with their children, the question is often asked: "Should we be using fluoride supplements?"

That answer is a yes, but precautions should be taken.

Fluoride is introduced into community water for a reason— it works! It is proven to reduce tooth decay among communities by 20 to 40%. So it's definitely helpful, and if you're not using a municipal water source then you and your children's dental health is at risk. Using fluoridated toothpaste is a common and effective topical solution to this problem.
