March 19, 2007 -- AUGUSTA - Representatives from 20 major Maine health, public health, and dental health organizations reiterated their support for fluoridation of community drinking water at a press conference Monday at the State House.
“In light of recent concerns arising from misinformation about fluoride disseminated in some Maine communities, we stand here together to assert our long-standing support for what the U.S. CDC declared as one of 10 most successful public health achievements of the 20th Century – community water fluoridation,” announced Dora Anne Mills, MD, MPH, Director of the Maine CDC in the Department of Health and Human Services.
“The single most effective way to prevent tooth decay is fluoridation of public water,” said Don Burgess, MD, FAAP, President of the Maine Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics. “Tooth decay is the most common chronic disease among our children. It can interfere with children’s ability to learn and do well in school and can lead to a lifetime of ill health, including tooth loss, pain, infections, and poor nutrition. Dental disease is increasingly linked with other illnesses and chronic conditions such as heart disease.” Burgess said the tragedy is that with about half of Maine children suffering from dental disease, virtually all of this is preventable. “Prevention strategies include fluoride, dental sealants, and regular visits to a dental professional,” he added..............
A whole litany of ain't fluoride effective and safe as well as being pure, I hope the NYSCOF rebut it.
