Fluoride in Hagerstown Water Seems Safe After 15 Years
Dr Lawrence A Clopper Jr chairing Washington Co Dental Assoc reports a 70 percent drop in tooth decay among seven year olds since fluoridation began. The program started in late 1951 with fluoride added to the city reservoirs and Potomac River Works, despite initial public secrecy and early complaints. Dentists note fewer decay cases in fluoridated areas, though the gap narrows as direct fluoride applications and vitamin supplements add fluoride.
