I am against flouridating the entire IOM water supply. I have a 5yr old and 3yr old both with very good teeth. I make sure their teeth are brushed twice a day with adult tooth paste which contains more fluoride than children's toothpaste.

If all parents were following the recommendations by the healthcare profession there would be no need to fluoridate everybody's water supply.

I love IOM water, it is high quality and tastes great. I drink high quantities of it and so do my children. Will fluoridation effect the taste? this is something we mustn't compromise and will lead to more people drinking bottled water.

As it is only of benefit to children under 5, why is it necessary to fluoridate the entire water supply? If parents really want this they can put fluoride drops in their children's water.

Educating parents is the way forward. A good balanced diet. Keep sugary drinks and sweets to an absolute minimum.
