Hamilton
Council issues misleading, wrong and unscientific
information to residents
The Hamilton City
Council’s leaflet to ratepayers about its decision to ban
fluoride in their town water supply gives oral health
information that is wrong, unscientific and misleading to
Hamilton people, leading NZ dental authorities say.
Dr
Jonathan Broadbent, a public health dentistry specialist and
researcher from the University of Otago’s Faculty of
Dentistry - New Zealand’s only dental training school -
says the largely inaccurate oral health care advice given
out by the Hamilton City Council (HCC) in its
recently-released leaflet should be corrected and residents
should be advised to disregard it.
