Are there proven benefits of adding fluoride to drinking water?
Scientific studies have shown that fluoride, when administered at optimal dosage, has been shown to reduce the incidence of dental cavities in children. Research has established an “optimal” fluoridation range between 0.7 and 1.2 ppm (parts per million). Boulder fluoridates its drinking water to 0.9 ppm as recommended by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.
