Dental Crisis in America - YouTube 

After 67 years of water fluoridation foisted upon us by the American Dental Association and its constituents groups, a Dental Crisis exists in America.  Senator Sanders introduced legislation to remedy this situation which is endorsed by 37 groups but not the ADA because it includes funding for Dental Therapists which would infringe upon dentists lucrative monopoly.  The ADA prefers fluoridation because it doesn't stop tooth decay and doesn't hurt their bottom line.  In fact, dentists are making lots of money covering up fluoride-stained teeth with expensive veneers because American children are now over-fluoridated with up to 60% affected with dental fluorosis - white spotted, yellow, brown and/or pitted teeth. Veneers cost about $1,000.00 a tooth

Hundreds flock to free dental clinic - ABC6 - Providence, RI

Hundreds flock to free dental clinic -  Rhode Island is 85% fluoridated: Dozens waited in the rain overnight, and hundreds more showed up Saturday morning for a free dental clinic in Lincoln. It was so busy, volunteers had to stop letting people in just one hour after it started. Only half of them made it inside for care.

One in four people in Rhode Island don't have any dental insurance, so they've really had nowhere to turn before this free clinic. Some of them have been in pain for more than a decade.
