Dentists Fluoride Discovery Wins 1952 Lasker Award
Dr. Frederick S. McKay, aged 78, receives the 1952 Lasker Award for outstanding scientific achievement tied to his discovery of the link between fluoride in water and preventing dental decay. Beginning in Colorado in 1901, he noted brown tooth stains from mineral waters, driving a decades long inquiry alongside Trendley Dean that established safe fluoride levels and widespread dental health benefits. The piece also notes a prolonged coal mining seam at Fushun, Manchuria, depth up to 400 feet.
