MDDS, CDA and the ADA recognize the use of fluoride and community water fluoridation as safe and effective in preventing tooth decay for both children and adults. Based on recent nationwide news headlines, MDDS and CDA recommend incorporating chairside education about the benefits of fluoride into your patient visits.
In addition, the CDA is working at the community level across the state to provide talking points, research and testimony. If you need resources for your city council or community meetings, please reach out to the CDA Director of Government Relations Lauren Harvey at lauren@cdaonline.org.
Below are links and additional resources on fluoride from local and national resources.
