The New Zealand Dental Association (NZDA) completely supports the Prime Minister’s Chief Science Advisor’s review of the
most recent scientific evidence on water fluoridation. Yet again the science confirms community water fluoridation is a
safe, and effective public health measure to reduce dental decay. This is unsurprising news, but again it is very
helpful, as dentists continue to promote effective measures to reduce dental disease, and the pain and suffering that it
causes in New Zealand.
