The medical community is taking the next swing int he on-going Dryden fluoride debate.
The City has received a petition from concerned citizens calling on it to halt the installation of fluoride in Dryden’s water supply.
Dental consultant Dr. Peter Cooney says the issue has become a political battle, while tooth decay rates among local children continue to rise. Cooney says he is concerned the installation of fluoride could be stalled on an on-going basis. He stresses the chemical is safe both for the user and for the operator.
