The table below lists 119 oral health state reports which were listed in the report, Water Fluoridation and Environmental Justice, by Fluoride Action Network. Many of these reports were funded in part by the Division of Oral Health of the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC). It is this division that actively promotes the fluoridation of community drinking water.
Over-exposure to fluoride damages teeth as the following photos of the various stages of dental fluorosis, also known as enamel fluorosis, show (see more photos):
Photographs of Dental Fluorosis by Dr. Hardy Limeback and Dr. Iain Pretty, et al.
The National Research Council of the National Academies in 2006 found that severe dental fluorosis was an adverse health effect. This is what the report states:
Enamel fluorosis is a dose-related mottling of enamel that can range from mild discoloration of the tooth surface to severe staining and pitting. The condition is permanent after it develops in children during tooth formation, a period ranging from birth until about the age of 8. Whether to consider enamel fluorosis, particularly the moderate to severe forms, to be an adverse health effect or a cosmetic effect has been the subject of debate for decades…
Severe enamel fluorosis is characterized by dark yellow to brown staining and discrete and confluent pitting, which constitutes enamel loss… Severe enamel fluorosis compromises that health-protective function by causing structural damage to the tooth. The damage to teeth caused by severe enamel fluorosis is a toxic effect that is consistent with prevailing risk assessment definitions of adverse health effects…
Severe enamel fluorosis occurs at an appreciable frequency, approximately 10% on average, among children in U.S. communities with water fluoride concentrations at or near the current MCLG [maximum contaminant level goal] of 4 mg/L. Thus, the MCLG is not adequately protective against this condition…
The committee finds that it is reasonable to assume that some individuals will find moderate enamel fluorosis on front teeth to be detrimental to their appearance and that it could affect their overall sense of well-being. However, the available data are not adequate to categorize moderate enamel fluorosis as an adverse health effect on the basis of structural or psychological effects.
Since 1993, there have been no new studies of enamel fluorosis in U.S. communities with fluoride at 2 mg/L in drinking water. Earlier studies indicated that the prevalence of moderate enamel fluorosis at that concentration could be as high as 15%…
109 of the 119 reports listed below do not mention dental or enamel fluorosis, even after severe dental fluorosis has been found to be an adverse health effect in 2006.
Only 10 reports include a mention of dental fluorosis:
- 2 reports give limited fluorosis statistics: 2009 California and 2014 Idaho
- 2 reports cite fluorosis only in a reference citation
Out of the 119 reports, five mention “White Spots” which could be dental fluorosis.
- The 2007 Georgia report notes: “20% of 2 to 5 year old Georgia Head Start children surveyed have white spot lesions.”
- The 2011 Washington state report gives the rate for White Spot Lesions in Head Start/ECEAP Preschoolers at 20.5%, with African American children having the highest percent.
