Dental decisions decisions!

Should we fluoridate Britain’s water supply?

The Times asks whether we should be fluoridating Britain’s water supply and offers two views on the debate presented by British Dental Health Foundation chief executive Nigel Carter, who is in favour, and Nick Reeves, executive director of the Chartered Institute of Water and Environmental Management, who is against. The former argues that fluoride “occurs naturally” and that other “effective measures” such as adding chlorine in water to stop typhoid, have faced no objection.  Meanwhile, the latter argues the ethical question of mass medication calling it a “quick fix” and a “financially driven” decision.

Marcus:"Wow, lots of comment today. My view on fluoride? ... Do it! Not a moments hesitation; we need one part per million in the water to massively reduce decay and it's safe."

Marcus: "I think I probably have enough to be getting on with as it is, but I always try to keep my options open."

Britain’s Got Talent contestant Susan Boyle advised not to change her looks

Surprise singing sensation Susan Boyle, the 47-year-old from Blackburn who has garnered international attention after her recent “show-stopper” performance singing on television’s Britain’s Got Talent, has been begged by one of the programme’s judges, actress Amanda Holden, not to succumb to the temptation of a “Simon Cowell make-over” complete with “bright teeth.” According to reports from the Telegraph Online and the Mirror, Ms Holden has vowed she “won’t let Simon Cowell take [Ms Boyle} to his dentist” saying Ms Boyle needs “to stay exactly as she is because that’s the reason we love her.”
