Water fluoridation is the addition of fluoride to adjust the natural fluoride concentration found in drinking water and bring it to the optimal levels that provide the most benefit for dental health. Community water fluoridation is considered one of the ten greatest public health achievements of the 20th century. Water fluoridation is a safe, cost-effective and proven way of preventing tooth decay. Studies have shown that communities with water fluoridation experience significantly lower rates of tooth decay in their population.
