DENTAL health expert from the UK has stressed the need for "a high-level of political support" to ensure that the vast majority of Bruneians get access to fluoride water.
During a seminar on dental public health and oral health programme yesterday, Anthony Blinkhorn, professor of oral health at the University of Manchester, highlighted the channelling of fluoride water as a way to prevent caries in as many people as possible.
This is among major plans for Brunei's dental health campaign for which Blinkhorn serves as a consultant.
