Dentistry Fraud

Fraud in dentistry differs from most medical fraud in that it is often carried out by qualified dentists. Most of the fraud is based on frightening people about two chemicals - fluoride and mercury - or by talking nonsense about root canal therapy. The sites listed here provide factual information about these concerns. (A list of sites promoting dental fraud can be found at The Millenium Project.)
