The decision to remove fluoride from Calgary’s drinking water has long been a point of debate.

The discussions were reignited this weekend after two dentists, an orthodontist and a bioethicist wrote an opinion piece in the Calgary Herald claiming the absence of fluoride is having “devastating consequences.”

“It is time to recognize what we see every single day. Allowing the levels of fluoride in our drinking water to fall below 0.7 parts per million is a terrible mistake that hurts people: you, your children and your grandchildren, every day,” they wrote.

Over the last few days we have received letters to the editor expressing strong opinions on both sides of this issue.
