Doctors tested fluoride in toothpaste.

Infact verdict: Mixed (50/100).

The claim about doctors testing fluoride in toothpaste is broad and lacks specificity without identifying specific studies or doctors involved. Fluoride testing is generally conducted under rigorous standards and protocols by dental researchers and chemists using methods like ion chromatography and NMR to ensure safety and efficacy. Organizations such as the ADA and standards like ISO11609 guide these tests, but doctors are not typically the ones who perform these specific chemical analyses.
