Community water fluoridation is a universal, cost effective way to protect teeth against cavity-causing germs. And it is especially beneficial among populations that disproportionately face barriers to accessing regular oral health care, including children, senior citizens, lower-income households ...and communities of color. #teethmatter

Cavities are the most common chronic childhood disease, but it doesn't have to be that way. Water fluoridation, sealants, regular dental checkups, and consistent brushing and flossing are highly effective at preventing decay and helping kids grow up cavity-free. #teethmatter

You're practicing self-care every time you brush, floss, drink fluoridated water, and visit the dentist. Healthy teeth and gums protect the body from inflammation and diseases, reduces stress, and fosters confidence by preventing discomfort from pain and tooth loss. #teethmatter
