West Virginia Banks High In Fluoridation Of Water
In West Virginia fluoridation began less than six years ago affecting about 65 percent of public water users according to Hartnett head of the dental bureau. Only New Martinsville and Hinton rejected it, while it remains common elsewhere. Fluoridation adds one part fluoride to one million parts water, not practical for wells. Hartnett cautions it does not prevent decay in every case but may prevent decay long term, citing Galloway Barbour County where 9 of 4 children had no decay versus 2 of 71 with decay in similar age groups.
