Panelists: Jim Farrell and Ruth Corsnick
Questions:
Proof of the safety and effectiveness of water fluoridation - all studies agree. Baumgartner believes this is an emotional issue, but doesn't present any safety or technical problem. Fluoridation helps adults up to the age of 45, drinking water earlier will help an individual have better teeth later in life.
