Fluoridation of Drinking Water Helps Teeth
A small fluorine amount in children’s diets during tooth formation aids decay resistance while excess causes mottling. Water from rocks often contains fluorine. many Iowa towns lack enough. Since Green Bay’s high fluorine water reduced decay, cities nationwide added fluorides. now about 130 cities fluoridate and 30 states assist. Proper control and safety precautions are essential for water workers handling the chemical.
