Who in the World Supports Healthy Smiles Through Fluoridation?

“Water fluoridation continues to be a highly cost-effective strategy, even in areas where the overall caries level has declined and the cost of implementing water fluoridation has increased. Compared to the cost of restorative treatment, water fluoridation actually provides cost savings, a rare characteristic for community-based disease prevention strategies.”

— David Satcher, MD, former Surgeon General of the United States (2001)
