UK - Huddersfield Fluoride debate
Fluoride debate
May 29 2008 by Andrew Baldwin, Huddersfield Daily Examiner
NEW figures on the state of children’s teeth have inevitably led to a renewal of calls for fluoride to be added to the region’s water.
It is a demand that we have heard many times before, but which always meets with stiff opposition from those who claim it amounts to a form of involuntary medication.
The argument will rage. But in the meantime is it not true that parents need to play their part in ensuring their children’s oral health?
The worsening state of young people’s teeth – especially in Batley – seems to suggest that many are ignoring their responsibilities. Surely it is not asking too much for regular brushing and periodic checks at the dentist.
