Water Fluoridation

Fluoride is a natural compound that contains fluorine. It occurs naturally in water, though rarely at the optimal level to protect teeth.

Community Drinking Water

Fluoride added to community drinking water (at a concentration of 0.7 parts per million) has been shown to be a safe, inexpensive, and extremely effective method of preventing tooth decay.
Community water fluoridation has been around for more than 60 years and has helped millions of people fight tooth decay. Because of its safety, effectiveness, and low cost, fluoride was named one of the top 10 great public health interventions by the Centers for Disease Control.
In Rhode Island, 85% of the population on public water receives fluoridated water.

Community water fluoridation benefits everyone in the community, regardless of age and socioeconomic status.
Community water fluoridation provides protection against tooth decay in populations with limited access to prevention services.
For every dollar spent on community water fluoridation, up to $38 is saved in treatment costs for tooth decay. MORE
