Stop adding fluoride to tap water in the UK!
Alternatively the government should address the issue of tooth decay by educating people on what’s causing it. E.g bad diet & lack of hygiene.
The government should also provide financial support to those who cannot afford dental care rather than poisoning it citizens with chemicals that have been proven to cause multiple health risks.
Fluoride is scientifically proven to contribute to •skeletal & dental fluorosis
•Thyroid problems
