Fluoride in water: What’s the real risk or benefit? 🚰

Hi everyone, how are you doing today? 💬

Fluoride is added to water in many parts of the UK to help reduce tooth decay, especially in children. It’s been praised as a simple way to promote dental health, particularly in areas where access to dental care may be limited.

Still, the debate continues. While studies show clear benefits for oral health, others worry about long-term effects of regular fluoride consumption for neurological development or bone conditions, especially in young children or during pregnancy. There's also the question of whether people should have the choice to opt out.

🦷 What do you think?

Do you live in an area with fluoridated water, and how do you feel about it?

Do you believe fluoride is necessary for better dental health?

Would you prefer more public transparency or choice when it comes to water treatment?
