Show Buy flourine individually, doctor advises If you feel you need fluorine for your teeth, buy sea water salt, but don't insist on fluoridation fluori-dation of culinary water supplies, sup-plies, Dr. Nephi Kezerian, well-known well-known orthopedic physician (bone specialist) of Provo advised ad-vised at a Provo Lions club meet Thursday evening. "Salt from sea water can be purchased in local drug and health stores, and is a source of other minerals besides fluorine," fluo-rine," he said. Fluorine in very small amounts (one part in one million) mil-lion) seems to be necessary in bone and tooth structure but too much causes unsightly spots in teeth, he pointed out. Use of fluorine will not save teeth if they are abused or neglected, he said, and added that he felt fluorine is not needed in water because of amounts found in food. If any individual feels he needs more, he can buy sea water salt, he said. This report is being published pub-lished this week in view of the fact that the Jaycees recently passed a motion to circulate petitions in this city to have a proposition of fluoridating Springville's culinary water, placed on the ballot this fall. |
