Dexter: Water

The Dexter Leader reports that Barbara Wehr, a dentist in Dexter, is advocating for the village to start putting fluoride in its water. Currently, Dexter relies only on naturally occurring amounts. Says Wehr: “I would like to begin to get public awareness going. The naturally occurring amount isn’t nearly enough. If something isn’t done we’re going to continue to see toddlers show up with decay, which I think in a fluoridated area we wouldn’t see. I don’t know how it slipped by or why we didn’t catch it sooner, but it’s something that everybody needs to start thinking about.” [Source]
