Loss of situational control

Abstract

Kids don't drink waterSir, following your reprint from the archives questioning the necessity of six-monthly check-ups 1 -especially in 'fluoridated' areas -my hygienist pointed out a further issue in that, as she said, 'kids just don't drink water any more…' I'm sure this might be a very relevant factor. Energy drinks and bottled water seem to be the drinks of choice. Maybe the BDA could lobby drinks manufacturers to fluoridate their products? D. Burton, Leatherhead, UK References 1. Sheiham A. Is the six-monthly dental examination generally necessary?
