One thing you can rely on is that, in our relentless review of the scientific and technologic research, we continue to remain "cutting edge".
In the light of the recent Harvard study indicating strongly that fluoridated water has a definite, deleterious effect on children's IQs, we again urge all of our patients not to consume water from the Hong Kong taps, as it is indeed fluoridated.
In fact, in the mid
80's, when we first came to Hong Kong, James and I noticed the high incidence of fluorosis in the younger population here. On reflection, we attributed the phenomenon to boiling rice, as the amount of fluoride was effectively concentrated into the rice as the water boiled off.
At CBD, we do not perform "fluoride treatments" for children because of the potential damage of ingesting. We continue to recommend NON-FLOURIDATED TOOTHPASTE for children, as they will generally swallow some, and over time this may have a deleterious effect on their growing bodies.
Please discuss the results of this study with any of our team and what it means to you and your children.
Meanwhile, autumn is on and that means HYGIENE and BLEACHING DISCOUNTS for you as we dive back into our work. To get you back in the fast lane, we'll be offering a 10% DISCOUNT on all hygiene and bleach appointments.
