During a presentation last week to the Conserver Society of Hamilton and District's Annual General Meeting, Ms. Clinch said that between one to four per cent of people are hypersensitive to fluoride. Yet government agencies, the medical community and the media have for years ignored the problem and instead touted fluoridation as a "miracle" cure for tooth decay, she said.

Tough choice: Pulled teeth or children

SACRAMENTO - Sarina Borg had a tough choice to make.

She could wait for months, maybe more than a year, to have her rotting teeth repaired by a dentist. Or she could get them pulled in order to be reunited with her baby daughter.

In California women's prisons, dozens if not hundreds of inmates like Borg are faced with the same wrenching decision: To gain access to a host of vocational-training and drug-rehabilitation programs for non-violent offenders - including a course that teaches them parenting skills while living with their children in special housing - they must be cleared of any pre-existing health problems.

Just one badly damaged tooth will block them from entering a program.

"It's unconscionable," said Assemblywoman Sally Lieber, D-San Jose, who has proposed legislation to shorten the waiting list for women wanting to get their teeth fixed by a prison dentist, a measure that passed its first committee hearing last week.
