AAP Fluoridation |
Tooth decay, which is almost completely preventable, is the most common chronic condition experienced by children, disproportionally affecting families with low incomes and in historically underserved communities. Native American/Alaska Native, Black and Latinx children have the highest incidence of untreated decay.
Water fluoridation is an equitable and inexpensive way to ensure that prevention of dental disease reaches everyone in a community. The American Academy of Pediatrics champions community water fluoridation (CWF) because it aligns with the AAP Equity Agenda. The AAP Campaign for Dental Healthprovides resources on fluoride and fluoridation for families and health professionals. Share the graphics, videos and other resources below with families to help prevent tooth decay. To access AAP Fluoridation resources click here |
