Australia - Open Letter
OPEN LETTER ( #3) TO THE PREMIER AND MEMBERS OF THE QUEENSLAND PARLIAMENT, COUNCILS, PUBLIC AND MEDIA
Dear Premier Anna Bligh
The Qld Health document shown here is criminally misleading. The appalling tooth decay as shown, is not a result of drinking water without fluoride.
We therefore call for the immediate dismissal of the Chief Health Officer Dr Jeannette Young, who must take responsibility for this duplicity.
The latest National Children's Dental Survey (pub 17 Dec 2007) in the " National Summary ", page 25 shows 75.1 % of Queensland Children aged 5 to 12 yrs, have no decay at all in their permanent teeth ( DMFT = 0 ). The Australian average is 76.9% and it ranges from 72.9% of children in the ACT having no decay, to 79.7% in South Australia having no decay in their permanent teeth. Current Queensland figures are right in the middle and are very good .
The latest national results can be found at this link http://www.arcpoh.adelaide.edu.au/publications/report/statistics/html_files/cdhs2002.html
To make it plain Premier, three quarters of Queensland children ( aged from 5 to 12 yrs ) are recently and publicly documented as having NO DECAY in their permanent teeth. Queensland children and adults do not need, or want Fluoride chemicals added to their water.
The Qld Health picture "teeth without exposure to fluoridated water " is almost certainly an example of " Baby Bottle Tooth Decay " ( BBT ) which occurs when young children are left sucking on bottles of liquids containing sugars and it occurs in all other Australian states which are heavily artificially fluoridated .
It is NOT a result of having an un-fluoridated water supply as is in most of Queensland. Fluoridation cannot, prevent " Baby Bottle tooth decay "
In 2006, more than one thousand children in Adelaide had anaesthetics to remove rotten teeth ( Stateline South Australian 20/7/2007) SA has only 8% of Australia's total population but 90% of the residents of South Australia have a fluoridated water supply ( NHMRC 2007 ). Fluoridation does not prevent BBT.
Dear Premier it is no wonder the Health Dept is in such a mess when untruthful, unethical, misleading publications like this, are allowed to be put out by senior Queensland Health public servants.
Premier, we call for you to dismiss the Chief Health Officer and to refer this matter to the Crime and Misconduct Commission.
Premier, we invite you to address the " Rally Against Forced Fluoridation " commencing 9am Tuesday 12 th Feb, Parliament House, George St
Authorised by M Haines on behalf of Queenslanders Against Water Fluoridation Inc
