OUR VIEW: Fluoride 101: Why did we first add fluoride?
There was a time in American history when the public had a great deal of faith that man-made chemicals would lead to better living. But that faith in chemicals has evaporated in recent decades as the public has seen the damaging effects of some chemicals on our health.
This is in the background of the raging debate over whether or not New Bedford should add fluoride to the New Bedford public drinking water system to help strengthen the teeth of young city residents, who as a group, suffer from high numbers of cavities, tooth loss and decay, according to local dentists.
This week, the "Our View" column will pose several questions and try to answer them to help in the understanding of what it means to add fluoride to public water for all residents.
