We have no politician and officers who can take active part and immediately implement it. Water fluoridation was started in Chinhae in 1981, and in Chonju in 1982. Powerful dentists We established dental association and also demanded to promote water fluoridation. Then, Kuchon began water fluoridation and have implemented in 25 areas and 3.3million people are supplied with fluoridated water. We cannot think that dental association demand Health Ministry to promote water fluoridation now in Japan.
Japan is most developed country in Asia.
Nevertheless, Japan has delayed in promoting water fluoridation. I am looking forward that Japan will realize this and begin water fluoridation for people in cooperation with dental Association, Health Ministry.
