Fluoride in Water is Safe and It Works
More than 70 years of scientific research has consistently shown that:
-
- an optimal level of fluoride in community water is safe and effective
- plus, it prevents tooth decay by at least 25% in both children and adults.
Simply by drinking water, Americans can benefit from fluoride’s cavity protection. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention named community water fluoridation one of 10 great public health achievements of the 20th century.
