Delta Dental Survey Studies Public Perceptions of Fluoridated Water
The 2013 Delta Dental Children’s Oral Health Survey highlights that approximately 60% of parents and other guardians of children say they are more likely to give children bottled water than tap water, potentially depriving kids of fluoride that is critical to good oral health. In addition, only 17% of parents believe that tap water is better for their children’s oral health than bottled water, and almost 45% of caregivers do not know if their water supply is fluoridated.
