Fluoride In Water
Cuts Tooth Decay
(This is the first in a series of
articles on fluoridation of water,
a measure proved to reduce den
tal decay among children..)
Murphy children today could
have the privilege of having
straighter, stronger, better-looking
teeth than their parents have had
of having two thirds fewer cavities
and extractions than their parents
have had, by a simple preventive
measure? fluoridation of Mur
phy's water supply.
According to dental experts in
North Carolina and in the nation,
fluoridation of community water
supplies is one of the truly impor
tant developments in the field of
preventive dentistry.
To rain the full benefits of
fluoridated water, authorities
say, children must drink It dur
ing the period their teeth are
forming, or from birth to about
are 8. The protection obtained
by children continues throng h
out life.
Dispite the fact that moot of the
water distributed by a community
watershed goes for industrial, san
itary, and other purposes and the
people drink only a small fraction,
fluoride, introduced to the entire
waiter supply costs only between
5 and 14 cents a year, per person.
One authority says that 18 cents
a year spent for fluoride win
erase the need for wending 88
or 78 times that amount on fill
ings, extractions and replace
ments.
Fluoride is introduced into the
water by mechanical feeders, of
the same type used for feeding
lime qpd other chemicals in water
treatment and industrial plants.
Murphy and other small towns
would most successfully use this
type feeder.
The cost of solution feeders var
ies between $325 and $1,500, de
pending on capacities, installation
Charges, and auxiliary equipment.
The addition of fluoride to
drinking waiter does not add taste,
color, odor, or hardness.
