Ireland - Obvious reason for tooth decay
Obvious reason for tooth decay
Friday October 16 2009
Tooth decay is higher and more severe among Irish children than their UK counterparts. According to Dr Carmel Parnell, researcher and a senior dental surgeon in the HSE, more than 20pc of eight-year-olds, 50pc of 12-year-olds and 75pc of 15-year-olds have experienced decay in their permanent teeth. Oddly but blatantly, her remarks made no reference whatever to fluoridation. About 70pc of Irish water contains the industrial waste product known disingenuously as fluoride "to protect our teeth" but only 10pc of UK water is now fluoridated.
Yet another "health" con trick has now been thoroughly exposed. Yet again, big business wins and people lose.
