The decision by Cook Shire Council to stop fluoridating water is a significant move that could have various implications for public health in the region. Fluoridation has been shown to reduce dental decay and improve oral health outcomes in many communities. It will be important for residents to stay informed about how this change may affect them, especially in terms of dental health. Community discussions and possible alternative measures or educational campaigns may be necessary to ensure that individuals maintain good oral hygiene practices. What are your thoughts on this decision? Do you believe there are viable alternatives to support dental health in the community?
