A member asked:
What do docs think? should cdc promote fluoridation of drinking water?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes, they should: The small carefully controlled amount of Fluoride that is added to most municipal water supplies in the usa protects teeth against tooth decay. Despite lots of fear mongering by anti-fluoridation groups the scientific facts are that this small amount of Fluoride causes no health problems and only protects teeth. Don' buy into mindless fear.

Bad science: The anti-fluoride support is based on bad science. No public health measure has received more scrutiny. In properly controlled amounts fluoride safely reduces decay and does no harm. Chlorine in water prevents typhoid. Should we stop chlorinating municipal water supplies because in overdose amounts chlorine is poisonous? Should we return to the days of ear-to-ear cavities in children's teeth?
