 This document is designed to dive deeply into a few studies that are often quoted by opponents with the result of misinforming the public about fluoride in water. 

Evidence of water fluoridation’s effects on plants, animals, and humans is considered based on reviews by scientific groups and individual communities, including Fort Collins, CO, Port Angeles, WA, and Tacoma-Pierce County, WA. Scientific evidence supports the fluoridation of public water supplies as safe for the environment and beneficial to people. This study, “Water Fluoridation and the Environment: Current Perspective in the United States,” is available on the CDC’s website.

This one-hour webinar seeks to strengthen the ability of dental professionals to have brief, productive conversations with patients about fluoride to help them achieve good oral health. Arcora Foundation features this webinar in partnership with the Washington State Dental Association and the Washington Dental Hygienists’ Association.
