Sean Plunket interviewed Dr Robin Whyman 13 February 2025
Fluoridation has been rejected in just about every country in the world. Yet, here we are in New Zealand, extending fluoridation across the country.
No country in continental Europe has fluoridation. Some countries in Europe did start fluoridation many years ago but have all since stopped. The last place to stop was the Basque region in Spain.
The UK (10%) and Ireland (70%) are the only European countries that still fluoridate. Only eight, out of a total of 197, countries in the world have more than 50% of the population on fluoridated water.
In 2014, Fluoride Free New Zealand aired an advert on TV3 to present this information. The 30 second advert provides some of the reasons these countries have rejected fluoridation.
