What should dentists prescribe?

In recent months in Australia the, country's Association has been negotiating with the Federal Government over the rights of dentists to prescribe. The question is not the legal right to order a drug for a patient, but the entitlement of patients to a Government health scheme benefit for the dentist's prescription. The debate has, however, opened up broader questions. What is a reasonable extent of entitlement? What should a dentist be allowed to prescribe?

A fluoridation campaign: the Phoenix experience.

On January 31, 1989, the city council of Phoenix, Arizona, voted to approve water fluoridation. Despite a small number of campaign participants and a limited budget, profluoridationists launched a successful 16-month effort that included novel marketing techniques, intensive collaboration with media representatives, and an aggressive challenge of the antifluoridation movement. Public support was garnered through an advisory petition effort and positive media coverage; political support resulted from a carefully orchestrated educational strategy that included expert testimony and comprehensive reference materials. With a population of approximately 1 million people, Phoenix is the ninth largest city in the country and, until the measure was implemented, the third largest nonfluoridated city.
