To the Editor:
Water fluoridation is only controversial among the vocal minority opposed to it.
Some of the individuals attacking fluoridation in Potsdam may be well-intentioned. But no matter what their motives are, their effort is misguided.
Ending fluoridation of our community’s drinking water would have a highly negative impact.
We urge our village officials to follow the recommendations of virtually every public health official at the local, state, and national levels and continue municipal level water fluoridation.
If the village ends fluoridation, the people who will be hurt the most are the ones least likely to be able to afford dental care, including small children.
