9 How fluoride protects teeth? Ingested fluoride acts on developing tooth structure Saliva bathing the tooth Surface effect This strengthens teeth, hardens enamel and reduces decay.
10 Community water fluoridation is effective 1 in 6 children free of decay who otherwise would not be (York Review) 30% decrease in tooth decay in children 4-17 years (Preventive Services Taskforce) The 2009 New Zealand Oral Health Survey showed that children and adults living in fluoridated areas had significantly lower lifetime experience of dental decay than those in non-fluoridated areas.
11 Who benefits the most? Young children Older adults At risk sick people e.g. with low immunity People from poorer communities Those who have the greatest oral health needs benefit the most.
12 Dr Greg Simmons Medical Officer of Health BHB, MBChB, Dip Obst, MPH, FRNZCGP FAFPHM, FNZCPHM
13 Claimed adverse health effects NO CREDIBLE SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE Skeletal fluorosis Bone fractures Cancer Bone cancer Brain function and IQ Heart disease Birth defects Arthritis Kidney damage Pineal gland effects Immune effects Thyroid disease Reproductive effects

17 Increasing water fluoridation in Australia
18 Community water fluoridation Safe at recommended levels ppm Effective especially for community members at greatest risk of poorer oral health Economical less than a dollar per person per year Fair - Those with the greatest oral health needs and the least available choice benefit the most
19 Recommendation Why should only Hawera enjoy the benefits of fluoridation in South Taranaki? This presents a great opportunity to extend the benefits of community water fluoridation to Patea and Waverley.
