a dental consultant with the northwestern health unit believes the
fluoride debate has turned into a political issue instead of a health issue.
dr. peter cooney is concerned that the installation of fluoride in
dryden’s drinking water will be stalled now that the city has received a
petition from concerned citizens.
n045 runs: 23 sec. out…just fine.
cooney stresses fluoride is badly needed as tooth decay rates in dryden
are among the highest in canada.
dryden residents voted in favour of fluoride in the last municipal
election, however the issue may be headed to a second referendum.
