Finding #1 – The Effectiveness of Drinking Water Fluoridation in Preventing Caries Historical Perspective
In 1901, a Colorado Springs dentist recognized that his patients with teeth with a brown stain or mottled dental enamel also had a very low prevalence of cavities (also called caries) (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 1999b). At this time in history, extensive dental caries were common, so this observation and its subsequent correlation with high amounts of fluoride ion in the ...
متن کاملFluoridation of Water and Cancer: A Review of the Epidemiological Evidence
PREFACE There is ample evidence, from many places and over many years, that fluoridation of the public water supply leads to a substantial reduction in dental caries, with all that means in prevention of suffering, inconvenience and unnecessary cost. It can be shown that the beneficial effect of fluoride is significant, whatever other measures are taken in relation to sound nutrition and preven...
متن کاملPopulations receiving optimally fluoridated public drinking water--United States, 1992-2006.
Water fluoridation has been identified by CDC as one of 10 great public health achievements of the 20th century. The decline in the prevalence and severity of dental caries (tooth decay) in the United States during the past 60 years has been attributed largely to the increased use of fluoride. Community water fluoridation is an equitable and cost-effective method for delivering fluoride to the ...
متن کاملFluoridation and cancer mortality in Anglesey.
Mortality in Anglesey from cancer (all sites), cancer of trachea, bronchus, and lung, cancer of stomach, and cancer of all other sites has been compared with mortality in England and Wales at two periods; 1949-53 (before fluoridation) and 1979-83 (after 20 years and more of fluoridation). No evidence has been found to support the hypothesis that water fluoridation affects cancer mortality.
متن کاملDrinking water fluoridation: bone mineral density and hip fracture incidence.
The role of drinking water fluoride content for prevention of osteoporosis remains controversial. Therefore, we analyzed the influence of drinking water fluoridation on the incidence of osteoporotic hip fractures and bone mineral density (BMD) in two different communities in eastern Germany: in Chemnitz, drinking water was fluoridated (1 mg/L) over a period of 30 years; in Halle, the water was ...
