New Zealand - Active in pushing fluoridation in Tauranga
Push for fluoride in Tauranga's water escalates

The drive to put fluoride in Tauranga's water supply is about to escalate - and get personal.
Bay health board members intend to renew the push for a fluoridated water supply across the Bay by turning up at council meetings to promote the case.
At its monthly meeting yesterday, the board decided to crank up the pressure on councils that were opposed to fluoridation.
Board member Don Riesterer said he wanted the board to "get active" about promoting fluoridation. "We have to keep working on these councils."
His comments were made after the board was told that about 30 per cent of children starting school in the Bay had unacceptable levels of caries, fillings and missing teeth.
