The optimization of fluoride levels in Espanola’s municipal water supply has resumed, Public Health Sudbury and Districts said Thursday.
Water fluoridation was temporarily paused at the Espanola Water Treatment Plant in May due to an equipment malfunction with the fluoride analyzer.
“Optimizing the levels of fluoride in drinking water systems is a safe and effective way to prevent tooth decay,” the health unit said in a release. “Repairs to the system have been completed and fluoride concentrations have returned to optimal levels in Espanola.”
Public Health also said it offers oral health programs and services to eligible children and seniors. For more information about these services, call 705-522-9200, ext. 236 (toll-free 1-866-522-9200).
