In this episode, James Maskell speaks with Dr. Staci Whitman, a holistic pediatric dentist who shares her transformative journey from advocating for fluoride use to opposing its inclusion in public water systems.

Dr. Whitman integrates dental health with whole-body wellness. She is an IFM Certified Provider (IFMCP), Board Certified in Naturopathic Medical Dentistry and Integrative Biological Dental Medicine (NMD), and an active member of several professional dentistry organizations.

The conversation explores recent studies and court rulings that highlight concerns about fluoride’s neurotoxic effects, particularly its association with reduced IQ in children—even at the so-called “optimal” levels used in most water supplies. Dr. Whitman emphasizes the cumulative nature of fluoride exposure, from water and toothpaste to processed foods, complicating efforts to measure total intake—especially for vulnerable groups like infants and children.

Key Topics Discussed:
  • The alarming lack of safety data on fluoride and its potential neurotoxic effects.
  • The need for a paradigm shift in dentistry toward a more holistic and preventive approach.
  • Why Dr. Whitman supports topical fluoride application over systemic water fluoridation.
  • How hygiene, nutrition, and education offer better alternatives to public water fluoridation.
  • Counterarguments from proponents of public water fluoridation.
