#028 - Is Fluoride Water Safe To Drink?! 💧🦷

In this episode of Mind Your Mouth, Dr. Maria Florou investigates the safety of fluoride in drinking water and its impact on your health. From thyroid disruption to lowered IQ in children, she unpacks the latest research on fluoride exposure and why it’s no longer seen as a harmless cavity-fighter.

Drawing from clinical studies and global data, Dr. Florou explores fluoride’s link to sleep issues, bone health, fertility, and neurodevelopment, while offering safer, science-backed alternatives like nanohydroxyapatite and reverse osmosis filtration. This episode is a must-watch for anyone questioning conventional dental advice and seeking a more informed, holistic approach to oral and systemic wellbeing.
