The New Zealand Medical Association strongly supports fluoride in drinking water. Fluoridated water is a community health measure which benefits all people in the community. Research has shown conclusively that fluoridated water is safe, cost-effective, and works well to reduce tooth decay. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral in all water supplies. The fluoride is adjusted to optimal levels to reduce tooth decay. The NZMA is New Zealand's pan-professional medical organisation. We represent doctors, and we work to promote the health of New Zealanders.
