Fluoride formula for good teeth

THE American Dental Association (ADA) would like to clarify some issues raised in the report headlined ‘Tap water warnings for baby formula’ (Irish Examiner, October 5).

The ADA continues to endorse community water fluoridation as a safe, beneficial and cost-effective public health measure for preventing tooth decay.

As the leader of a science-based profession, the ADA continually reviews new information about fluoride’s impact on health.
