In my work on this bill, I sought the views from dentists across the country who are widely in support of fluoridation. I heard from a dentist in Nelson Hospital who remarked, "I see it on a daily basis, the unnecessary pain and suffering children continue to endure for one simple reason: they live in a non-fluoridated area. It is absolutely heartbreaking removing teeth from young children, some as young as 18 months, still in nappies." Indeed, that dentist's experience is not uncommon. Tooth decay is not just something that sends you to the dental clinic; it sends many children to hospital. In 2019, 6,270 children under the age of 14 were admitted to our hospitals for an operation, and the young children, they need an anaesthetic because they cannot sit still to have their teeth extracted. So it is a big moment and negative consequences as a result of lack of fluoridation for these young people.
