Historic Early Endorsement of Community Water Fluoridation

Systemic Benefits of Fluoride and Fluoridation
Clinical trials, animal studies, and in vitro tests demonstrate effectiveness of exposure to topical (posteruptive) fluoride in caries prevention and reduction of enamel dissolution. However, careful analyses of human epidemiologic data on caries increments, following communal water fluoridation, show unquestionably that fluoride has an important preemptive effect on caries in permanent teeth, particularly on pit and fissure surfaces. These preem…
The Case for Reducing the Current Council on Dental Therapeutics Fluoride Supplementation Schedule
The milder forms of dental fluorosis have increased in prevalence since the original epidemiologic surveys of the 1930s. Most studies of fluorosis have identified the use of supplements as a major risk factor. Fluorosis could be prevented, in part, by stopping the improper prescription of fluoride supplements in optimally fluoridated areas and by lowering the dosage currently recommended by the Council on Dental Therapeutics supplemental fluoride…
Effectiveness of Water Fluoridation
The efficacy of communal water fluoridation in reducing dental caries has been reviewed based on surveys conducted in the last decade of caries prevalence in fluoridated and nonfluoridated communities in the United States as well as in Australia, Britain, Canada, Ireland, and New Zealand. The efficacy is greatest for the deciduous dentition, with a range of 30-60 percent less caries in fluoridated communities. In the mixed dentition (ages 8 to 12…
A Symposium on Building a Coalition To Improve the Public's Oral Health
Dental researchers may sometimes find themselves called upon to enter the public arena to promote or defend measures to improve the public's oral health. It is important, therefore, to keep up-to-date information at hand to supply to news media, public officials, and others, and to be aware of the opportunities and the pitfalls involved in communicating with the public
A Symposium on Building a Coalition To Improve the Public's Oral Health
Achievements of the Seventies
Communal water fluoridation continues to be the cornerstone of an ideal caries prevention program. Its efficacy in reducing caries prevalence by about 50 to 60 percent was demonstrated throughout the seventies from Perth to Toronto. During the past decade, opponents of fluoridation have relentlessly attacked the safety of the procedure, but careful scientific analyses have not sustained their criticisms. The health and other scientific communitie…
