Dr. Albert Chow, DDS - Thousand Oaks, CA was speaking about an article published on 14 August 2014 on a top dental website. The full article can be read here.

Dr. Albert Chow, DDS - Thousand Oaks, CA said, “The British Journal of Cancer has recently reported that by eating a Mediterranean diet the public can reduce their risk of mouth cancer. A Mediterranean diet is filled with whole grains, fish, olive oil and fruit, just to mention some of the things the public can enjoy. All of this is low in sugars, which reduces the impact the diet has on oral health.”

Dr. Albert Chow, DDS - Thousand Oaks, CA, the well-known dentist, was speaking in reference to an article recently published in the Dental Tribune website. The article, which can be read here in full, reports on a decision made recently, by Blackpool’s local councillors. The report says that the councillors have deferred plans to introduce milk which contains fluoride into primary schools until further scientific studies have been completed.

Dr. Albert Chow, DDS - Thousand Oaks, CA, dentist said, “I welcome this decision by the councillors of Blackpool local authority. I believe that the best course of action is to wait until further scientific study has been completed. While I wholeheartedly approve of a move to ensure our young children get sufficient levels of fluoride, I believe that new ways of giving it to children should be thoroughly tested before they are implemented. There is no room for error when it comes to the health of our young children. The most recent study into Milk containing fluoride showed only a slight increase in the levels of fluoride amongst children who drank the milk. As a family man, and as a family dentist, I can clearly see both sides here and think that everything should be done to give the scientists the time and resources to research this milk properly.”

Dr. Albert Chow, DDS - Thousand Oaks, CA, renowned dentist, went on to say, “The article also reported that Public Health England has requested local authorities wait for the results of the findings prior to using fluoridated milk. This is the best course of action, and prevents any problems. We must always give our researchers the time to properly test new foods, medicines, and treatments, before they are made available to the public. It is the only way to ensure public safety and that and new products on the market are effective. Children already get fluoride from the water and from their toothpaste. If they are following a healthy balanced diet, and brushing their teeth twice a day as recommended, they should be getting the correct levels of fluoride already.”

Dr. Albert Chow, DDS - Thousand Oaks, CA, the well-known dentist, also said, “I am looking forward to reading the study when it is published. I think it is important to keep abreast of all the latest developments. If this study results in positive recommendations, it is very important that dentists know when children start to be given fluoridated milk. I understand that parents will be given the opportunity to opt out of the scheme if they do not wish their child to receive the fluoridated milk. I think this is the most sensible course of action, not all parents will want their children to be part of this initial project. As a practicing family dentist, I believe that as long as children are being shown how to follow good oral hygiene practices, and are being encouraged to eat healthily, they will be developing good, strong and healthy teeth and gums.”

Dr. Albert Chow, DDS - Thousand Oaks, CA closed in saying, “Early detection is imperative when it comes to the survival rate of mouth cancer patients. I welcome Mouth Cancer Action in the UK to inform the public on this disease and help them identify the problems early on. There isn’t enough information on this specific type of cancer and many people aren’t even aware of it. There are signs that people need to watch out for and visit their dentist or GP if they have an ulcer that doesn’t heal in three weeks, they have swelling in their mouth or they have red and white patches in their mouth and on their tongue. Regular dental check-ups can also help catch problems early on, thereby increasing the survival rate of the patient.”
