PUBLIC POLICY Question
40. ADA's
Fluoridation Facts Short Answer ADA's
Fluoridation Facts Long Answer Many fluoridation systems that used to operate in Eastern and Central Europe did not function properly and, when the Iron Curtain fell in 1989-90, shut down because of obsolete technical equipment and lack of knowledge as to the benefits of fluoridated water.229 Water fluoridation is not practical in many European countries because of complex water systems with numerous water sources. As an alternative to water fluoridation, many European countries have opted for salt fluoridation, in addition to the use of fluoride toothpaste for topical benefits, as a means of bringing the protective benefits of fluoride to the public. (Additional discussion on this topic may be found in Question 10.) Again, no European country has specifically imposed a "ban" on fluoridation, it has simply not been implemented for a variety of technical or political reasons. Repeat
of Question 40. Opposition's Response Yes, in some countries. (See answer to Question 39). |
