Tooth decay in young children

A striking feature of the coverage of the Public Health England report available here has been the lack of proper discussion about fluoridation of water.

Public Health England have themselves published the following water fluoridation health monitoring report (2014) that doesn’t seem to have been picked up on in relation to the dental health of three year olds in England.

Flouridation of water is done pretty standardly in Ireland, and has been been considered to be amongst the top ten achievements in public health: find out more here

Hmmm.
