Charlotte Observer | 10/15/2007 | Report reveals dental deficit: North Carolina is 85% fluoridated

'In this millennium, that's basically a tragedy,' said Tom Vitaglione, one of the authors of the annual child health report card and a senior fellow at Action for Children N.C., a child health advocacy organization."
