I wonder how their health compares with unfluoridated areas?

50 years of fluoridation
By Jenny Joynt
Tuesday, 6 June 2006

This year we will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the fluoridation of public water supplies. Fluoridation was first introduced into mainland Australia in 1955 in Yass. The earliest fluoridation Australia wide was in Beaconsfield in Tasmania in 1953. The official "turning on" of the fluoridated water supply in Yass was on June 22 1956.
Two figures were instrumental in persuading Yass Council to introduce fluoride into the Yass water supply. They were Dr Sydenham Dobbin AM and Dr David Graham MBE. Fluoridation had been well tested overseas.

Media Link, a video news release company from Sydney, was in Yass on Wednesday May 31 to film Dr Sidney Dobbin recounting the process which those in favour of fluoridation had to go through to convince councillors that fluoridation was best for Yass. He acknowledges the contribution of Dr David Graham, and of those who kept the movement alive when Dr Graham became ill.
