Fluoride has long been controversial, particularly among traditional dentists, while functional dentists have discouraged its use for many years. The debate has intensified with a recent ruling by a Federal Court in California. Today’s guest joins us to break down the science, the controversy, and the verdict's impact on both dental and neurological health.

Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dr. Mark Burhenne for a deep dive into fluoride and the potential dangers of excessive fluoride exposure. Dr. Burhenne discusses how the decision to use fluoride was made, the shaky science behind its continued use, and the arguments from critics and proponents. Additionally, he explains how fluoride can be effective, the importance of recognizing cumulative exposure, and alternative products to protect dental health.
