this week on Sounding Board:
Water Fluoridation
Thursday, October 6, 2011, 10:00 am
- The machine used to fluoridate Nome's water supply is in disrepair, and the City Council is weighing whether fixing the machine - and continuing water fluoridation - is necessary.
- Many communities in Western Alaska do not fluoridate their water, even though the CDC - and experts like ANTHC's Chris Fish (as heard in our Profile) - say water fluoridation has clear dental health benefits.
- What do you think? Do you want fluoride in your city water supply? Why?
