Tewksbury Public Health Museum hosts an in-depth zoom discussion on Monday, May 5th, with two public health experts on the benefits, risks, and controversies of fluoride.
Oral health is not just about having a bright smile—it’s a cornerstone of overall health. On Monday, May 5th at 7:00 PM, The Public Health Museum is hosting a Zoom for a timely and important discussion on the vital role oral health plays in public health—and how community water fluoridation remains a proven, effective tool in protecting it.
Drawing on decades of research and real-world results, experts Allison Leader and Dr. David Leader will lead a discussion on the effectiveness, safety, and economic impact of water fluoridation. They will also examine how this public health measure improves access to dental care, especially in underserved areas.
Today, nearly 24 million Americans live in areas with a shortage of dental care providers. Water fluoridation helps reduce the demand for dental interventions by preventing tooth decay before it starts—lessening the strain on the already burdened oral healthcare system.
This important event will not only highlight the science behind fluoridation, but also address the broader implications for healthcare equity and community well-being.
