Effective community water fluoridation remains crucial in preventing dental caries, according to a recent JADA article. The review highlights that fluoridation typically results in a 25% reduction of caries and is cost-effective compared to potential treatment costs without it. The authors emphasize its accessibility, low cost, and universal effectiveness, stating it benefits all age groups without requiring active participation from the public. The article warns against discontinuing this public health measure, referencing studies conducted between 2014 and 2025.
