Mouthwash made in USA and Canada with FDA approval
EXCERPT:
How much fluoride do ACT Rinses and Mouthwashes contain?
In a 0.6 oz, 1 oz, 3 oz or 18 oz bottle, all ACT rinses and mouthwashes deliver 0.05% sodium fluoride, which is equivalent to 0.02% of the fluoride ion. The 33 oz bottles of Restoring Mouthwashes are 2x day formulas and contain 0.02% sodium fluoride, which is equivalent to 0.009% of the fluoride ion.
If my town has fluoridated water, could I get too much fluoride if I use ACT products?
The chances are very unlikely. Given the relatively low concentration of fluoride
in ACT products, and the fact that it’s not ingested, conditions associated with
over-fluoridation such as fluorosis are not considered to be an issue. Please
consult with your physician or dental professional about any health concerns you may have, as your physician is familiar with your personal medical history.

Where are ACT products manufactured? Do they contain harmful ingredients from China?
ACT is made in the United States and Canada at US FDA compliant facilities.
They do not contain the ingredient in question with the toothpaste made in China, which was recalled.

EXCERPT:
FLUORIDE, TEETH, AND THE ATOMIC BOMB

By Joel Griffiths and Chris Bryson

Some fifty years after the United States began adding fluoride to public water supplies to reduce cavities in children's teeth, declassified government documents are shedding new light on the roots of that still-controversial public health measure, revealing a surprising connection between fluoride and the dawning of the nuclear age.

Today, two thirds of U.S. public drinking water is fluoridated. Many municipalities still resist the practice, disbelieving the government's assurances of safety.

Since the days of World War II, when this nation prevailed by building the world's first atomic bomb, U.S. public health leaders have maintained that low doses of fluoride are safe for people, and good for children's teeth.

That safety verdict should now be re-examined in the light of hundreds of once-secret WWII documents obtained by Griffiths and Bryson – including declassified papers of the Manhattan Project, the U.S. military group that built the atomic bomb.

Fluoride floss
EXCERPTs:
Dentek Triple Clean Deep Cleaning Floss
Finally! A deep-cleaning floss that doesn't look (or feel!) like packing twine. Triple Clean Floss traps plaque and food between hundreds of tiny microfilaments for the deepest, most thorough clean we could find. We made it thin, so it fits better between tight contacts and resists shredding, and coated it with mint-flavored wax and fluoride for added slipperiness and cavity protection.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dentek Complete Clean Textured Easy Sliding Floss
Complete Clean Floss achieves the delicate balance between deep-cleaning performance and gentleness. We took two strands of easy-sliding floss and twisted them together, creating a pocket-like texture that grabs plaque and food particles from deep between your teeth. The slippery material slides easily between contacts to protect your gums, and the twisted design means no sharp edges and superior plaque removal. Then we waxed it for a firmer grip, added fluoride for extra cavity protection, and made it minty for a tastier flossing experience.

Reach Fluoride Waxed Dental Floss
EXCERPT:
Product Description
Better than ever! Slides more easily. Extra shed resistant. Fluoride Formula Dental Floss cleans between teeth and along the gum line, where cavities and gum disease can start. Flossing has been clinically proven to remove plaque between teeth to help prevent gum disease.

False Advertising
EXCERPT:
False advertising or deceptive advertising is the use of false or misleading statements in advertising. As advertising has the potential to persuade people into commercial transactions that they might otherwise avoid, many governments around the world use regulations to control false, deceptive or misleading advertising. Truth in labeling refers to essentially the same concept, that customers have the right to know what they are buying, and that all necessary information should be on the label.

Example of False advertising
EXCERPT:
Keeping kids' teeth healthy requires more than just daily brushing. During a routine well-child exam, you may be surprised to find the doctor examining your child's teeth and asking you about your water supply. That's because fluoride, a substance that's found naturally in water, plays an important role in healthy tooth development and cavity prevention.


Mouthwash and fluoride
EXCERPT:
Fluoride Mouthwashes

One important variety of mouthwash is the one containing fluoride. This kind can be used by individuals having an excessive tendency to tooth decay, or those living in areas having inadequate fluoride in their water supply. This method of fluoride enhancement is simple and very effective in preventing tooth decay.

Lytle T. Adams
Dr. Lytle Adams' incendiary "bat bomb" of World War II.

Abstract
On December 7, 1941, a 60-year old dentist from Irwin, Pennsylvania, Dr. Lytle S. Adams, was driving home from a vacation at Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico. Hours earlier, he had been gripped with amazement as he witnessed millions of bats exiting the caves of Carlsbad. Listening to his car radio on his return trip, he was shocked to hear that Japan had just attacked Pearl Harbor. Dr. Adams, outraged over this travesty, began to mentally construct a plan for U.S. retaliation. As his thoughts returned to the countless bats that had awed him, he formed a tentative plan: millions of these small, flying mammals could be connected to tiny, time-fused incendiary bombs, and then released to land on the flimsily constructed structures which dotted the cities of Japan. Within a few minutes, the bombs would explode and enflame the entire urban areas. He postulated that these immeasurable numbers of fires, spreading their devastation over such vast areas within Japanese cities would result in the enemy's speedy surrender. This article documents the futile efforts of Dr. Adams, his team and the U.S. government to develop and employ an effective, incendiary bat bomb. The recently developed atom bomb, a far more deadly weapon was used in its place.

The application of human rights legislation
to the practice of water fluoridation

1. The ethical controversy over water fluoridation.
Much of the claimed ethical support for fluoridation relies on the use of emotional language to persuade the public and the medical profession of the morality of the practice. Proponents claim that the physiological need for fluoride, especially among socially deprived and disadvantaged children, is such that objections to fluoridation by non-consenting members of the public are, by implication,
morally unacceptable. Proponents speak passionately of the distress of infants exposed to traumatic and even life-threatening tooth extractions under general anaesthetics to remove their ‘diseased bodyparts’ (carious teeth), and alleging that many children are permanently damaged and may even die during such operations.
In fact, tooth extractions on children under general anaesthetics in dental surgeries was banned in the UK in November 1999. Since then, the death of children as the result of such operations in hospitals has become extremely rare. This is so even though the UK has a higher referral rate for such operations than most European countries, where less invasive procedures are preferred.

Objections to water fluoridation are often expressed on the grounds that such non-consensual medication violates their human rights. The political and institutional conflicts raised by such enforced medication have been discussed in the past (for example, see Balog 2, Cross and Carton 3 , Nuffield Council on Bioethics 4), and I believe that there are persuasive ethical arguments against this practice.

However, as in other aspects of the controversial subject of water fluoridation, the human rights issues have been deliberately obscured by the introduction of irrelevant and in some instances deliberately diversionary arguments.

One of the most severe obstacles to rational examination of the conflicting ethical views on water fluoridation is the common failure to understand the difference between human rights and civil liberties.

This confusion is compounded by the invention of fictitious ‘rights’, opposition to which is argued to be a ‘violation of a child’s right to receive the claimed medical benefits of the practice. This argument forms the foundation of the arguments that fluoridation is an ethical public health intervention repeatedly forwarded by some promoters of the practice.5 In my view, this is a parody of the ethical 1 Independent Forensic Ecologist, Cumbria UK.

2. Prohibition on criminal assault.

Regardless of the specific ethical issues raised by fluoridation, there are robustly established legalprohibitions on actions that cause damage to individuals. Under virtually all criminal codes, nonconsensual or unlicensed medical interventions against the individual are regarded as medical assault.

In English law such acts have been expressly forbidden since 1862, when the administration of any poisonous or noxious substance was proscribed under the Offences Against the Person Act.

With respect to the central issue in the fluoridation debate, that of the need for consent to be exposed to this product, this Act does not specify that consent to the administration of such a substance should be regarded as a mitigating factor - giving a person a poisonous substance is quite simply prohibited.
