If you are billed for your water by a local water system/district, contact your community water district to determine whether your water is fluoridated and the level of fluoride in your water. Check your water district billing statement for the utility's contact information.
Single-family well owners can have their water tested for fluoride at a laboratory; local health districts often have testing capabilities.
Visit the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s “My Water’s Fluoride” to help determine whether your drinking water is optimally fluoridated for improved health.
“Kids with poor dental health miss more school, can be more distracted and can even have speech problems. As a teacher, I see first-hand how dental health can affect a child’s ability to learn and succeed. Our children deserve every health protection available.”
