Benefits of Fluoridation prevents tooth decay mainly by providing teeth with frequent contact with low levels throughout each day and throughout life. Even today, with other available sources of fluoride, studies have show that water fluoridation reduces tooth decay by about 25 percent over a person's lifetime. Studies show more than 204 million people in USA are served by public water supplies containing enough fluoride to protect teeth. Plan calls for 80 % of population to be served by optimally fluoridated community by 2020. The widespread availability of fluoride through water fluoridation, toothpaste, and other sources, however, has resulted in the steady decline of dental caries throughout the United States.

My eyes are wide open. Fluoride that has been used for years in the State of Florida is Hazardous Waste. Product of Phosphate Mining in State of Florida for over 50 years. It is not pharmaceutical grade a Hazardous Waste. The report I made was given to me June 6, 2016 by Florida State Board of Health by their Fluoridation Public Health Chief Sean Isaac, MPH 850-245-4333. WHO also needs their eyes wide open. I will be making many calls Monday July 18, 2016. Thank you for pointing out every thing.

Your point is excellent, Lokesh. Fluoride is a naturally occurring element; However, what is putting into our Municipal Water supply is not natural - It's Hazardous Waste - not even pharmaceutical grade, but a waste hazard and Synthetic. Fluoride may interacts internally differently from a naturally occurring one.

Can fluoride intervention be as per individual choice and kept out side of water? Excess of Flourine salts in water is bad but normal levels occur naturally...

Unfortunately your points are all discredited at this stage, today. 99% of Western Europe rejected or banned the use of Fluoride and their teeth are just as healthy as the rest of the fluoridated water population. Sorry, your knowledge is outdated. WHO is still also outdated on this thing - where WHO recently reversed its position on Coffee intake - Now Coffee is a healthy drink - but that coffee benefits were already scientifically proven. Those organizations are never, by no means, any credible proof of Science. They are in essence bureaucracy. Older generations tend to have outdated understanding of Fluoride. It is an essential ingredient of making Atomic Bomb, and unfortunately you are one of them being grossly outdated.
