Water Fluoridation and Public Health - Report

11th November 2000

This Report has just been published by the Dental Health Foundation in association with the Faculty of Public Health Medicine, Royal College of Physicians of Ireland.

It is a report produced by the Research Committee on behalf of the Faculty of Public Health Medicine for its members. There has been considerable debate in Ireland since the introduction of water fluoridation in the 1960s, so it was an opportune time to update members on the key issues in relation to water fluoridation and to place these in the Irish context. Since the completion of this report, scientific papers on water fluoridation continue to emerge such as that of the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, US Department of Health and Human Services. The report from the Centre for Reviews and Dissemination will synthesise and present the best evidence on the subject of water fluoridation in an accessible and up to date manner.
