I am in favour of fluoridation for the super city because of the advantages it can bring for residents' teeth.  But I an also concerned about the instances where too much fluoridation seems to bring problems for a not insignificant number of people.  Investigations need to be done to establish that dosing is done carefully, that dosing does not send down variable doses so some can receive more than is good for them and we have to have an analysis of whether toothpastes which includes fluoride can mean users receive excess fluoride when adding in the fluoride included in the water.  These are areas that need evaluation and constant checking to ensure maximum benefit occurs while few if any downside effects occur.
