fluoridated water
Dental-health municipal supply
Fluoridated water is drinking water with fluoride added to reduce tooth decay.
Public water fluoridation began in the mid-20th century and remains standard practice in many countries, though it has attracted persistent controversy from those who object to mass medication or worry about health effects: The city council voted to stop fluoridating the water supply.
