Fluoridation Fails Wisconsin Children

WISCONSIN

 

Campaign launched in  Eau Claire County to decrease tooth decay in children

In response to the increasing number of young children with tooth decay, the action team released a webinar session for medical professionals about how they can play a vital role in tooth decay prevention in young children.

 

According to the 2010 Burden of Oral Disease in Wisconsin, about 25 % of Wisconsin’s Head Start children ages three and four have untreated decay and 33% have had cavities and now have fillings.

NIH Protects Sugar Industry Over Children's Teeth

About 42% of children in the US have some decay in their baby (primary) teeth.

In the 1970's, the sugar industry encouraged the NIH to design research projects that, instead of looking at sugar, focused on:

• Fluoride in toothpaste
• Fluoridated water supplies
• Adding fluoride to sugar, salt or flour
