Up until 2021 local councils were responsible for deciding whether their area was fluoridated or not. However, in 2021 the Labour Government introduced the Fluoridation of Drinking Water Amendment to the Health Act. This put all decision making into the hands of the Director-General of Health. This move happened as a result of increased debate…
If you or your child have white spots on the teeth, or the tips of your teeth have white marks, this is probably a condition called dental fluorosis. In 2017, Fluoride Free New Zealand ran some billboards to try and alert the public to the issue. The only way a person gets dental fluorosis is…

A number of studies, particularly those published between the 1930s and 1970s, purported to demonstrate very large benefits from drinking fluoridated water.

Doctors in the USA and the Netherlands found out many years ago that some people are acutely sensitive to fluoride. Everyone who is exposed to fluoride is having their health compromised, since fluoride is not a nutrient it is a poison, but some people are spending their lives being seriously unwell because of this poison.…
Not all dentists agree with fluoridation. It is assumed by many that they do, as it is the dentists who are the most vocal about supporting fluoridation. The New Zealand Dental Association is the main fluoridation promoter in the country. In 2012 , local dentist John Jukes, spoke up about fluoridation and helped get fluoridation stopped…
In July 2022 the then Director-General of Health (DGH), Ashley Bloomfield, sent 14 councils a directive to start fluoridation at one or more of their water supplies.

This was his 8th tour of this country and this time he brought with him two other internationally recognised scientists: Fetal Pathologist Dr Vyvyan Howard and Environmental scientist, Declan Waugh. They each gave a presentation which took us through the fluoridation issue. Prof Paul Connett – Fluoride…
It’s often said that what makes fluoridation so harmful is that they use a chemical called hydrofluorosilicic acid rather than naturally occurring fluoride. However, the fact is all fluoride is toxic, even naturally occurring fluoride. Fluoride is not a nutrient in any way. It is not like calcium or magnesium; it is much more like…
There is a malevolent, malicious and dangerous piece of misinformation which has been used as by proponents of fluoridation in recent court cases where the NZ Government is attempting to push through the fluoridation of drinking water, without consent from the public.
