Community Water Fluoridation
-
Community water fluoridation is the process of adjusting the fluoride level
that occurs naturally in a community's water to the optimal level for
preventing tooth decay as proven by hundreds of studies conducted over fifty
years throughout the world. Adults as well as children benefit from drinking
fluoridated water throughout their lives.
Continued
progress has been made in the area of water fluoridation for the State of
Florida. Escambia County was the largest area in Florida not to have public
water fluoridation. Efforts began in late 1997 to reorganize the fluoridation
issue in cooperation with the local dental society and the State Dental Program
Office.
In 1998 Escambia County passed a referendum to fluoridate the community water
supply joining Milton and NAS Pensacola in providing this significant preventive
public health measure. Fluoridation has been completed on the Emerald Coast
Utility Water System. Only People's Water System and the small rural water
systems remain non-fluoridated
