guelphmercury.com | INSIDER | Kids' dental health decaying, dentists say:

GUELPH (Canada) is fluoridated:

"Cases of bad mouths are spreading among children in the region and it's not related to the language they use.

Public health and education officials, along with a Guelph dentist who fixes young people's teeth, are seeing a sharp increase in tooth decay and oral infection."

"'I'm seeing much bigger cavities, much faster, more rampant, and much more severe cases,' said Dr. Mohamed Hussein, one of a small number of local dentists who participates in the Children In Need of Treatment (CINOT) program."
