As noted in the release, this stance aligns with the longstanding position of the ADA and the broader healthcare community, which recognize the proven benefits of fluoridated water in preventing tooth decay and cavities as good oral health is the gateway for good overall health!
More than 75 years of extensive research as shown that, when used at recommended levels, fluoride is safe and effective in preventing tooth decay by approximately 25% while reducing dental costs by $38 dollars for each $1 invested.
