Abstract
Community water fluoridation is the controlled adjustment of fluoride that occurs naturally in all water to optimal levels to prevent tooth decay. A number of systematic reviews and individual studies provide evidence that consumption of optimally fluoridated water at level recommended for dental health does not have an adverse effect on human. Fluoridation is a safe, effective, cost-saving and socially equitable evidence-based public health measure for all and is a powerful public strategy in efforts to eliminate health disparities among populations to reach everyone in the community regardless of age, education, income level or access to routine dental care.
All health officials, health professionals and concerned citizens will be expected to join in the task of achieving community water fluoridation for all community drinking water supplies which lack the fluoride content needed for the prevention of dental caries.
