Canada - LETTER: Look at fluoride evidence
LETTER: Look at fluoride evidence
I read with concern the letter from OMA President Dr. Stewart Kennedy praising the benefits of water fluoridation.
If Dr. Kennedy had reviewed the science on fluoride and water fluoridation he would know that dental researchers, Health Canada, the CDC and dental organizations agree that fluoride’s primary benefit is topical, not systemic.
Dr. Kennedy, keeping that fact in mind, please tell me what dose would be appropriate for a baby that has no teeth and how you or any health professional will monitor and control that dose?
Please state what measures you or your organization have taken to protect babies by informing new parents and the public about the potential adverse effects of water fluoridation on the developing child.
