Removal of fluoride treatment was part of a continent wide fluoride scaremongering by people who should have known better. Its removal hit children the hardest, whose teeth are in high growth and development.

This was predictable . When the city removed fluoridation after decades they were advised the poor of our city would suffer. Precedence had been well established in other cities. The Council of the day should have continued fluoridation and lobbied the Province to defray the expenditure . The city pays for chlorination of the water and other treatment measures so the argument that fluoridation is a health measure that sits with the Province rings hollow to me. For a city constantly fighting poverty issues , taking on the cudgel of this issue seems a no brainer. Another argument against fluoride use is that it can cause harm. Yes , in high doses but not at the dose used in water. Guess what , most compounds we use can cause damage at inappropriate dosing including oxygen. Mayor Reardon : take up the fight . return fluoride to the water.
