Flouride Cuts
Tooth Decay
Up To 65%
This is the last of five
articles on dental health.
Children who drink
water from birth
have up to 65 per cent less
tooth decay. The benefits
are lifelong.
Fluoridation programs
provide the most dental
benefits to children because
fluoride is incorporated into
the enamel as it is formed.
The teeth become decay
resistant because fluoride
makes the enamel less
susceptible to acid attacks.
Wilmington’s city water
supply is supplemented with
fluoride and offers this
decay-reducing property.
Well water and community
water systems are not
supplemented with fluoride,
so you should consult a
dentist or pediatrician for a
fluoride supplement
prescription. Water sof
teners do not add fluoride.
Indirectly, fluoridation
programs help reduce the
incidence of malocclusion.
Some malocclusion, or
improper coming together
of the teeth, is the result of
premature loss of the first
teeth. With less decay
because of fluoridation,
fewer first teeth are lost too
early.
Fluoride also helps
protect the important 6-year
molars, usually the first
permanent teeth to erupt.
Another way to obtain the
benefits of fluoride is
through topical application.
A dentist or a dental
hygienist cleans the teeth,
dries them thoroughly, then
applies a fluoride solution.
The application should be
repeated at intervals the
dentist recommends.
Studies have shown that
topical applications of
fluoride are of additional
value in preventing decay
even in communities with
fluoridated water supplies.
Some North Carolina
public schools are using a
fluoride mouth rinse during
school hours. N.C. Dental
Society wholeheartedly
surffrorts <hH|j»MßHpi ag|fg
suggests that all parents
allow their children to take
part in this valuable decay
preventive procedure.
It is important when
removing plaque from your
teeth every day that you
brush with a fluoride tooth
paste. Some fluoride tooth
pastes have been recognized
as effective decay
preventing dentifrices by
the Council on Dental
Therapeutics of the
American Dental
Association. Look for the
statement on the toothpaste
carton.
The fluoridation of public
water supplies, the topical
application of fluoride and
the use of fluorides in other
ways may not prevent all
tooth decay. Combined with
a balanced diet, daily
plaque removal, and
regular dental check-ups,
however, such a program
can bring about a dramatic
reduction in dental disease.
