Fluoridation involves adding controlled amounts of chemical
to water lies as a means of preventing a lot of tooth decay in a country that has 97.- 000,000 people with decayed teeth, 21,000,000 more with no teeth at all, and ‘an annual family dental bill of $1,700,000,000 for just the # per cent of people receiving treatment.
The health service says it has been proved beyond question that fluoridation can prevent two out of three cavities in growing chil- dren, and that the benefits last through life. Also, that the || method is absolutely safe.
They say Americans could save billions of dollars in dentist bills at an average annual per capita expenditure of anly a dime.
PROGRESS BLOCKED
But health service scientists say that organized and unorganized anti - fluoridationists — mostly laymen, but also some medical men—are blocking progress fo- wards such an attainable goal, often by tactics which play upon the emotions of uninformed people.
Opposition arguments range from charges that fluoridation in- volves exposing people to a ‘‘rat poison” to a claim that it is Com- : munist-inspired as a means of | a tS) ° . “ ; weakening the will of the Amer-|
