Salt Fluoridation An Adjunct to Community Water Fluoridation.

Jack M. Saroyan

Abstract

After 70 years of community water fluoridation in the United States, still over 100 million people do not have the benefits of dietary fluoride. The saturation level may have been reached. Salt fluoridation can be an adjunct method for improving children's dental health in noncommunity water fluoridation areas. It is used worldwide and the World Health Organization recommends it when water fluoridation is not feasible as it is equally effective in the prevention and control of dental caries. The author calls for a debate on this proposal by organized dentistry.
