Fluoridation cessation and oral health equity: A 7-year post-cessation study of Grade 2 schoolchildren in Alberta, Canada
Objective Community water fluoridation, because of its universal scope and passive mechanism of uptake, is one component of a multifaceted approach to promoting equity in dental health. The objective of this study was to examine social inequities in children’s dental health in the Canadian cities of Calgary (fluoridation cessation in 2011) and Edmonton (still fluoridated). Methods We analyzed data from surveys of population-based samples of Grade…
Advancing public health communication in the era of empowered health consumerism: Insights from dental hygienist-client interactions around community water fluoridation
Within a neoliberal environment that prioritizes the individual over the community, understanding challenges associated with advancing population-level or universal interventions is important if public health is to remain a relevant collective institution.

However, further research is needed to 1) confirm the effects in a study that includes a comparison community, and 2) explore possible alternative reasons for the findings, including changes in treatment and preventive programming
