For centuries, maintaining a complete set of teeth into adulthood was a rarity due to poor oral care. Today, fluoride plays a crucial role in dental health.
The London Assembly's Health Committee recommends adding fluoride to London's drinking water to improve oral health, as many children in the city suffer from tooth decay.
The report highlights more than 25% of five-year-olds in London experienced tooth decay in 2021-22, showcasing a significant public health issue.
Sadiq Khan is urged to conduct a feasibility review on fluoridating the city's water supply, targeting a systematic approach to tackle dental health challenges.
