Recently, the American Dental Association presented 10 reasons to fluoridate public water at the Capital Hill forum on "Oral Health: Putting Teeth into the Health Care System". The ten reasons cited include:
- Fluoride is the single most effective public health measure to prevent tooth decay
- Natural fluoride is already present in most water sources, including the ocean
- It is similar to fortifying other foods
- It is safe and effective
- It protects people of all ages from dental caries (cavities)
- It prevents dental disease
- It saves money
- It is recognizable by more than 100 organizations
- The availability of fluoridation continues to grow
- The ADA endorses it
