Water Fluoride Level And Dental Peer-review Journals

Fluoride is the most abundant element in the earth and it is present in virtually all waters. The levels of fluoride in drinking water are usually below the levels necessary for good oral health. Fluoridation, is the process of adding fluoride to the water supply, has been responsible for a remarkable reduction in cavities and tooth loss. The vital role of fluoride was determined by a series of studies correlating the difference in oral health between communities using groundwater with naturally high fluoride levels to the typical deficient fluoride levels observed in most surface water supplies. The water fluoridation has proved to be a safe and cost-effective way to reduce dental caries.
