| The failure of parents to stop children from eating foods laced with sugar is the cause of tooth rot in Queensland! It is easier to shut children up by shoving lollies in their face. Flouride is a known poison and does kill young children. Pay for flouride treatments at the dentist this will be cheaper and address the problem properly. |

Thank you seaeaglefeather - I agree entirely. We need to speak up about this. I live on the Gold Coast and about 30 years ago, Gold Coast residents fought long and hard to stop water fluoridation. Have politician not learnt? Don't they listen to scientific findings?
e.g. http://www.wholywater.com/fluoride.html
I just can't believe they intend to MASS-MEDICATE the entire population because parents can't ensure their children eat good foods and don't drink sugary drinks! Besides, to benefit children's teeth - children will need to actually DRINK tap-water, when most would prefer a bottled drink.
I cannot express how upset I am at this point! or should I say this pointless and inconsiderate act! |

| why doesn't the government give out free fluoride tablets to those who want them? My children are 10 and 12 and have great teeth with no fillings, which I take credit for as they didn't have ANY lollies until they were pre-school age, and they still don't have soft drinks. |

| Against all Scientific, Medical and Dental Fact that Fluoride in drinking water does nothing. Anna Bligh is forcing this World Wide known Poison upon us. I thought that Queensland was a democracy, not a dictatorship. Surely the premier and ADAQ have access to the Internet? Especially when over half the world has banned the practice. |

| I DON'T want to be forcibly medicated. If Queenslanders want fluoride, let them apply to their councils for tablets. I feel like I am being discriminated against because I don't want poisonous fluoride in my diet. |

| Isn't Mass Medication illegal in this Country? Having this forced down our throat without our consent IS UNLAWFULL. This QLD Government could end up facing Legal action over this. |

| If fluoride is a known poison why are you sending people off to get treated with it. Does it matter where you get it from? Poison is poison whether its in the water or provided at the dentist. We, through our taxes, pay a fortune to fix the decay that fluoride can prevent. Other states have used it for decades. Time to get your head out of the sand. |

| I think there is a difference between a fluoride treatment at the dentist, where the treatment is spat out afterwards, and ingesting it in drinking water! |

| I agree with seaeaglefeather. I have lived in queensland for 30 years without fluride in the water and I have not fillings at all. It is not about fluride in the water it is about restricting sugarly lollie and soft drinks and not brushing ones teeth regularly that causes tooth decay. Adding fluride to the water is not going to change the habits of people. So it is really going to prevent the problem? I think not!!! N |

| I agree with aussie_astro, maybe a class action seeking the state government to provide a domestic filter to households that don't want this poison in their water supply. We did not ask for it, and we don't want it! |

The ANSWER is to add flouride to SOFTDRINKS, as children drink more softdrinks than water!!!
ALSO it will cost our government LESS to add flouride to softdrinks and it will be getting to those children that NEED the poision!!!!!!! |

| +Flouride is a poison left over from the aluminium smelting industry full of bribery graft corruption from the USA who cannot get rid of it cheaply so they are making more money out of it by selling it with a massive marketing system , to less than smart pollies ,Tooth decay is the bodies acidity PH in my DNA RNA my teeth are very religous and holy the same as everyone in my family blood line.Some have used Flouride tooth paste no effect their teeth still decayed. Bligh you sound and look more like Captain Bligh. I am your leader follow me.The answer partly is better dental care by more and better dentists, some say sugar it's an aquired taste, and I grew up with fruit and vegies not sweets they were a luxury. |

| This is the perfect solution, add Flouride to the soft drinks. Let's not exclude sports drinks and sweets. Therefore those of us who don't ruin our teeth with that rubbish don't have to get treated with poison. |

| I agree with what you say that you limit sugary drinks and junk food to your children. I have one child with no fillings or decay and another child with 3 fillings. Unfortunately adding artificial fluoride which comes in from China and is a by-product of aluminium and fertilizer industry which contains lead, and other nasties is not the answer. Please google fluoride and find out what exactly it is...In 2004 the West Australian Newspaper published an article that children as young as 1 were having general anaesthetics to remove rotten teeth. Perth has been fluoridated for over 27 years. Other articles around Australia show the same thing. Its a bit like drinking sunscreen to not get sunburnt. Well fl. toothpaste works better topically than by drinking it. |

I am sooooo mad.
You get enough flouride from ONE daily brushing. I have brushed my sons teeth since the first one appeared. Now we are getting this poison in our water to benefit lazy parents. There is no one to blame for a kid that has rotton teeth but the mother and father. Not the state!!!!
Some people may only drink one or two glasses a day. I would drink one or two litres a day or even more. What will that be doing to people who drink a lot more. I don't need the extra flouride thanks.
My teeth are clean and my breath is fresh. |

| I am a dental assistant and have been for almost 9 years. i have recently moved up here from NSW where i was born and raised. Believe me when i say not all kids are the same but you can definatly see the difference between people who have had flouride and people who havent. When we used to see people one look in their mouth and we would know that they are from QLD. I f they by some chance werent then they didnt look after their teeth. Flouride may be bad for you in large doses but the doses that are in water will not kill you. You have more of a chance from something going wrong if you put the flouride in the water yourself. I live in rocky and the day i arrived here i smelt and tasted chlorine in the water. In high doses wont that kill you???? I say bring on the flouride great move. |

| If the taste of flouride water turns you off BOIL it like I have done with all drinking water these past thirty years. I know not everyone can do this but if you can give it a try the kids will love it and drink it till the cows come home, er we don't have cows. |

Boiling Water ?
This will concentrate the fluoride rather than reduce it.

So Anna Bligh is pulling Queensland into line with the majority of the rest of Australia. Wow, how revolutionary of her.
I'm pretty sure the rest of Australia's life expectancy is no shorter than in Queensland because of the small amounts of fluoride in the water elsewhere.
$35 million spent on fluoridating our water supply will save a lot more than that in dental bills over time and is a good way to mitigate the effect of Medicare's refusal to support dental care. |
