Community water fluoridation (CWF) is one of the most widely discussed topics in public health. In the United Kingdom, it has been used for more than sixty years as a way of improving dental health and reducing inequalities in oral health between different groups of people. At the same time, it is a subject that often attracts debate and, in some cases, concern. We have created a seperate website (fluoridation.co.uk) which provides accessible, evidence-based information (from reputable sources in the public domain) about what fluoridation is, what the scientific research shows, and why it continues to be an important topic of discussion for communities, health professionals, and policymakers.
The website presents a limited amount of information, with extended information answered in the main texts or the Frequently Asked Questions. If you have further queries, you can submit your own questions via our form on the FAQ’s page.
