Community Water Fluoridation

Community water with the right amount of fluoride doesn’t just help one person. It improves oral health for everyone in the community.

Fluoride in water helps prevent cavities and builds strong teeth. Correct levels of fluoride in drinking water help prevent cavities and support the development of strong teeth.
