Dr. Johnny Johnson is a pediatric dentist from Florida who joins us on the podcast today. Dr. Johnson practiced full time as a pediatric dentist until a bicycle accident in 2002. Over the next 6-7 years he continued to practice while undergoing multiple surgeries on his wrist. He eventually hung up the handpiece when his wrist needed to be totally fused. We spend some time talking about disability insurance and what that journey looked like for Dr. Johnson.

Dr. Johnson now spends his time advocating for public water fluoridation. He is a leader in the American Fluoridation Society and fights every day all around the country and world to promote the benefits of community water fluoridation.

I try to challenge Dr. Johnson with the current evidence of fluoride, and some of the conspiracy theories and claims that anti-fluoride parents present to us. Dr. Johnson gives us the evidence and rebuttals to counter these claims. 

He encourages any listener to reach out to him at [email protected] for personal help in advocating for community water fluoridation in their own community, as he is very passionate about his work.
