Yellow Card Reports on adverse reactions to fluoride varnish

Joy Warren made this Freedom of Information request to Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency.

Dear Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency,

Since January 2006, how many adverse reactions have been reported to the MHRA following administration of fluoride varnish. Could you please provide an annual breakdown. Could you also state whether the information applies to England or to the entire UK.

Is it also possible to state how many of these patients who suffered an adverse reaction were seen in A&E? An annual breakdown of visits to E&E would be appreciated.

Finally, were any of those patients who attended A&E admitted to hospital. If so, how many. An annual breakdown would also be appreciated.

Yours faithfully,

Joy Warren

My son was violently sick both times it was applied  which got me involved in the fight against all forms of fluoride in dental care.  In both cases the dentist was told but I doubt if he reported it.

The same dentist died of a heart attack aged 42 soon after. Too much fluoride and mercury may not have been the cause but it can't be healthy breathing those toxins  in during the course of the day.
