Scientific American has reopened an age-old debate in its January issue with a feature story titled "Second Thoughts about Fluoride." Author Dan Fagin focuses on a 2006 report issued by the National Research Council (NRC) -- based on two years of reviewing studies. The bottom line? The report suggests the Environment Protection Agency's (EPA) current limit (4 mg/L) of fluoride in drinking water should be lowered to protect children from fluorosis, which causes yellowing and pitting of the enamel. In adults, overexposure to fluoride may also cause bone cancer, damage to the brain and thyroid gland, and mild skeletal fluorosis, according to the NRC report.

A research conducted on ways to tackle tooth decay has found that a technique known as the ‘Hall Technique’ is the much favoured way of fighting gum disease. The research revealed that the Hall Technique, which uses preformed metal crowns pushed onto teeth with no dental injections or drilling, is much more favoured by a majority of children, over traditional “drill and fill” methods. It was found that the technique could slow down tooth decay, or even stop it, when it is sealed into the tooth by the crown.
