Water fluoridation helps prevent tooth decay – how growing opposition threatens a 70-year-old health practice Although the health benefits of fluoride have been well-documented for decades, some say its use infringes on personal choice.

Also, if anyone is taking down trees in the city please get in touch! The work I do teaching carving and running Spoon Club is through a charitable trust and donations of green wood are what allow us to keep going and sharing the delight of making things by hand 🙏
