Abstract
This article explores the evidence behind the safety of community water fluoridation. The authors establish that no clear link to lower IQ has been proven at U.S. levels (0.7 ppm). Major health organizations, including the ADA and WHO, continue to support fluoridation as safe and effective for preventing tooth decay.
