June O’Sullivan OBE, CEO, London Early Years Foundation (LEYF), says:

Tooth decay doesn’t just cause pain – it disrupts sleep, eating, learning, and the ability to speak clearly, which is crucial for a child’s development and confidence.

[British Assn. for the Study of Community Dentistry @bascd_uk]

BASCD welcomes the news following public consultation that community water fluoridation will be expanded in the Northeast of England.
Water fluoridation is a proven, cost-effective measure that reduces inequalities and protects communities from preventable tooth decay.

[Stephen Kinnock @SKinnock]

1 in 3 five-year-olds in the most deprived areas have experience of tooth decay.

That's why we're introducing supervised toothbrushing at schools and nurseries.

Every £1 we invest will save the NHS £3 - and up to 600,000 children each year will benefit.

[Department of Health and Social Care @DHSCgovuk]

✅ The Government and @TheBMA have agreed a new contract for GPs, our first step to:

◉ end the 8am scramble for appointments
◉ bring back the family doctor
◉ rebuild general practice

Working with GPs, we’ll make the NHS fit for the future.

A U.S. agency has walked back its original statements about fluoride. Given that its original report failed peer review, this isn't a surprise.
Here is an excellent summary of the report issued last week:
