Doctors Look for most Logical Solution to Rotting Teeth
 Reacting to figures revealing that tens of thousands of children in the UK are now having multiple tooth extractions of rotten teeth each year, Doctors' representatives and health experts asked the government to act yesterday.
According to the survey, sugary drinks in feeding bottles, consumption of sweets and junk food, which are all encouraged by massive industry advertising campaigns aimed at children, have resulted in an explosion in the number of children having milk teeth removed in recent years.
Professor Liz Kay, chairwoman of the British Dental association claimed the solution to the problem is obvious and asked the government to act immediately.
“The solution is for the government to legislate and force local authorities to purchase and add the carcinogenic chemical Flouride to the nation’s water supply.”
The addition of fluoride, which is known to be cancer causing but also reduces tooth decay, to the nation’s water supply is clearly a much more logical solution than banning the advertising of sugar filled junk food to children, she claims.
