  • Yeah I’m in dental myself (another country), and when anti-fluoride patients come in, we generally sassily remark that we thank them for keeping us in business. Bit of dark humour to see the silver lining in things, I guess?

    There have certainly been dental clinics going out of business in the last few years, something quite unheard of - unlike other ‘new businesses’, the success rate of opening a new dental clinic was normally guaranteed (unlike say a new cafe).

    If the general population want to remove one of the best public health initiatives, then so be it. We’ll make hay while the sun shines.










  • This sounds like a distinctly cultural problem where the word ‘limit’ clearly doesn’t mean very much to the population in question.

    It’s a limit, not a target, and certainly not a floor as some USAsians seem to treat it.

    Here in Australia you can be fined for exceeding the limit by less than 10km/h. Yes, even if you are 1km/h over, and whilst this would probably get thrown out in court you’d still have to take time off to attend court.
