Fluoridation in the news.

Louisiana passes statewide fluoridation law

BATON ROUGE, La. – On July 8, 2008, Governor Bobby Jindal signed SB 312, which mandates that community water systems statewide with at least 5,000 hookups provide cost estimates to the state for implementing fluoridation by March 2009. The state will then work with each system to find grants and state budget funds to implement fluoridation community by community.

Nebraska legislature passes statewide fluoridation law

LINCOLN, Neb. – On April 17, 2008, the unicameral Nebraska legislature took a tremendous step toward improving the oral health of Nabraska’s citizens by passing LB 245 – a new law that calls on cities and towns with at least 1,000 residents to adjust the level of fluoride in their public water systems to help prevent tooth decay.

Doctor testimonial“As a doctor, I support community fluoridation because I know that good dental health is connected to overall health. In fact, children with dental disease are more likely to face other serious health problems. In my mind, fluoridation is a no-brainer for the better health of our community.”
