Call for fluoride in water
21/09/2007 12:56:09
Calls to fluoridate Rotorua's water are once again being voiced.
This follows claims from local Principals' Association member Patrick Walsh, who says many teenagers with dental problems have been told by local dentistry practices to travel to Tauranga or Taupo for treatment, or join a two to three month waiting list.Mr Walsh says a shortage of dentists is a problem which cannot be fixed quickly but fluoridating the water will halve dental problems in Rotorua. He says the council needs to have enough backbone to take up the issue, instead of fobbing it off to central government.
