“The Michigan State Medical Society, in cooperation with the Michigan Association of Public Health and Preventive Medicine Physicians, is urging citizens and public water facilities throughout the state not to misinterpret the new [federal] recommendations regarding the fluoridation of municipal water.”
“… the FDA believes that reducing the level of fluoride in municipal water will help reduce the occurrence of dental fluorosis, a harmless discoloration (mottling) that can occur with higher levels of exposure to fluoride. Fluoridation of water can decrease cavities by up to 40% if available to children during the first 7 years of their lives. The value of fluoridation has been thoroughly established as safe and effective.”
