Board schedules fuller discussion on water fluoridation after member raises state-level bans
Summary
A board member raised concerns about recent moves in some states to ban fluoridation; the board agreed the topic is complex and will invite a dentist to present at next month's meeting for a fuller discussion.
Frank Easter raised a request to discuss recent state actions on water fluoridation and whether Vernon County should consider the issue.
"Let's save it till the next week," the facilitator said after members agreed it's a large and controversial topic; the board asked staff to invite a dentist and scheduled the item for next month to give members time to review background research.
Members noted the topic is complicated and suggested evidence and a dental-provider perspective would be useful for a productive discussion.
