Editorial - Let’s go ahead with fluoridation for dental health
Editorial - Commissioners get
it right on fluoridation
The voters have spoken: we want
community water fluoridation! See official
Skagit County elections results. Proposition 2
passed by more than 1000 votes and with more than 52% of the
vote. Thank you for your support!
Sedro-Woolley City Council unanimously
endorses fluoridation!
Read the City Council minutes from when Sedro-Woolley
City Council members acted to improve the health of their
community.
THANK YOU for supporting Proposition
2!
You made the difference.
Voters delivered a clear message to the County
Commissioners: we expect the same protection and health
benefits from fluoridated water that other leading
communities already enjoy.
Water fluoridation protects oral health for current and
future generations and saves money for families, businesses
and taxpayers.
That’s one reason why dozens of local organizations and
hundreds of volunteers joined with us to help pass
Proposition 2.
Thanks to your help, our future will include improved oral
health.
Citizens for a Healthy Skagit,
a broad coalition of Skagit County physicians, dental health professionals, community leaders, businesses and educators, believes our County’s residents also should receive the proven health benefits of community water fluoridation.
What people are saying...
Everyone benefits
Dental disease
Dr. Harold Clure,
Skagit County
Family Physician, retired:
"Water fluoridation will cost just pennies per
person per month. Early prevention is key
because tooth decay is progressive and becomes more
difficult to treat with time. This really is one of
the best things we can do for the overall health
of our community." See
other local supporters.
According to the Surgeon
General, dental decay is a "silent epidemic."
Oral disease can be intensely painful and impair
overall health. Dental decay impacts almost
60 percent of elementary school children, making it
a leading cause of missed school, and it affects a
child's ability to learn and succeed.
