All about Water Fluoridation and Why it is Good for Communities!

Fluoride is one of the elements found in abundance in nature. Water is the primary dietary source of Fluoride. Any human with a low fluoride intake is at risk of having dental caries. Initially, Fluoride was considered advantageous when administered during tooth development, but in years of research, it established its importance in the prevention or treatment of dental caries and tooth decay.

  1. All about Water Fluoridation and Why it is Good for Communities!

  2. Fluoride is one of the elements found in abundance in nature. Water is the primary dietary source of Fluoride. Any human with a low fluoride intake is at risk of having dental caries. Initially, Fluoride was considered advantageous when administered during tooth development, but in years of research, it established its importance in the prevention or treatment of dental caries and tooth decay.Since Water fluoridation is a significant public health achievement of the twentieth century, researchers have explored fluoride methods to the general population in various other ways.

  3. Here are a few benefits of Water Fluoridation for Communities: Prevents tooth decay: Water Fluoridation is one of the most efficient ways to prevent most common childhood diseases, i.e., tooth decay. Protects all ages against cavities: According to research, Fluoride in community water systems prevents 25 per cent of tooth decay in children and adults. Safe and effective: After as long as 70 years of collection of scientific evidence consistently, the fact established is that community water fluoridation is safe and effective. Numerous U.S. Surgeons General have endorsed and recognized the health benefits of water fluoridation in maintaining excellent oral hygiene and good gum health.

  4. Saves money: On average, the cost incurred by every person in his lifetime on dental fillings is much higher than what he can incur on water fluoridation and escape all the hassle. Studies show that every $1 invested in water fluoridation for most cities can save up to $38 incurred on dental implants and treatment costs. It’s natural: Fluoride is a natural substance found in groundwater and the oceans. Water fluoridation is the adjustment of fluoride to a recommended level to prevent oral problems. The process is very similar to fortifying other foods and beverages, like fortifying salt with iodine, milk with vitamin D, orange juice with calcium and bread with folic acid!
