In areas where the potable water supplies contain the fluoride ion at optimum concentration at the source, the dental caries experience of children who ingest these water fluorides during the years of tooth development is about 60 per cent less than among children in areas with fluoride deficient water supplies.1 Adults who have used such water supplies continuously enjoy the dental benefits obtained during childhood.2
