Fluoridation saves Canadians from widespread tooth decay

Fluoridation of community water is presented as a key public health measure to reduce dental decay. It argues costs are low per person, with widespread benefits including fewer decayed teeth, especially when started from birth. The piece explains fluoride sources, natural levels, and the goal of about one part per million to strengthen enamel. It notes existing natural fluoride in Ontario and U.S. communities and historical studies linking fluoride to decay resistance.

How Water Is Fluoridated and Its Effects

Fluoride is added to the water by a mechanical feeding device linked to water works, precisely measured under qualified staff. Since Brantford began in 1945 and studied by 1948, fluoridation reduces tooth decay significantly with no ill effects, supported by multiple city trials and surveys across the United States and Canada.

A Final Note On Fluoridation

Fluoridation of community water supplies has been endorsed by the World Health Organization, Federation Dentaire Internationale, Department of National Health and Welfare Ottawa, Canadian Dental Association, Canadian Medical Society of Dentistry for Children, Heal. Continued on Page 8.
