Canada - Researchers sink teeth into fluoride question

Researchers sink teeth into fluoride question
City, county site of study

Epidemiological researchers with the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit have descended on Kingsville and Leamington to stare into the mouths of locals and figure out whether their teeth are fouler than those found in Windsor.
The study, started last year, aims to measure the touted benefits of fighting cavities by adding fluoride into the municipal water supply, something the Windsor Utilities Commission has been doing in the city for 60 years, but something the Union Water System serving those county towns has never done.

It's also an effort by local authorities to counter a recent surge in public opposition to the long-practised public health measure.

"We'll try to see if we can get enough information on dental caries (tooth decay) ... to accurately look at a comparison between fluoridation and nonfluoridation," said local medical officer of health Dr. Allen Heimann..................

After 60 years of fluoridation and and benefits are not obvious but fluorosis is, it is about time the practice was ended.
