 Overview
 For over five decades, the American Dental
Association has continuously endorsed
the fluoridation of community water supplies
and the use of fluoride-containing products
as safe and effective measures for preventing
tooth decay.
The majority of bottled waters on the
market do not contain optimal levels
(0.7-1.2 ppm) of fluoride. And, some
types of home water treatment systems
can reduce the fluoride levels in
water supplies potentially decreasing
the decay-preventive
effects of optimally fluoridated
water.
