1.Most of those scientists, including Levy, still support water fluoridation as a proved method of controlling tooth decay, especially in populations where oral hygiene is poor.
3.The study authors found that prior to 1975, there was a clear and important effect on prevention of tooth decay in children due to water fluoridation.
4.Supporters of water fluoridation point to studies like this one that looked at what happened in Calgary, Canada, after they stopped fluoride in their water in 2011.
5.Even though no conclusive causal link has been found, a growing number of cities are planning to end fluoridation, and specialised water filters, which remove any fluoride present, are flying off the shelves.
