Barrow dentist wins national award
By DEBRA McKINNEY
..........."I have traveled all 50 states, and I can't recall a place that had greater dental needs."Although it varies family to family, like in many rural Alaska communities, not enough brushing was going on. And too many kids were growing up on soda, with the equivalent of 10 sugar cubes in each 12-ounce can. Oral health care was even more scarce in the villages, which were lucky if a dentist dropped in once or twice a year...............
Governments can force fluoridation on citizens yet they can't legislate to stop manufacturers from damaging the young.
