Proctor Children See 38 Percent Fewer Cavities With Fluoride
In six years since Proctor fluoridated water the grade school children show a 38 percent drop in decay. A 1963 survey by Dr. Newton E. Howe and two Rutland dentists found reduced untreated decayed teeth and more filled teeth by 1970, with data from 1964 and 1970 indicating substantial gains in dental health and lower decay rates across Vermont communities adopting fluoridation.
