This resolution formally recognizes community water fluoridation as a safe and effective public health intervention aimed at preventing tooth decay and promoting overall oral and physical health. It underscores that tooth decay is a common, largely preventable chronic disease that can lead to severe health issues, including pain, infections, and even death, and results in substantial healthcare costs. The resolution emphasizes that fluoride is an essential component in preventing tooth decay, reducing its incidence by approximately 25 percent. It notes that community water fluoridation is supported by over 75 years of scientific research and is recognized as a major public health achievement, providing a significant return on investment by saving billions in dental treatment costs annually. The House of Representatives encourages states and localities to initiate or maintain optimal fluoridation levels in community water systems, aligning with recommendations from leading health organizations. It also supports continued research, education, and investment in community water fluoridation programs to enhance public oral health and recognizes the role of health professionals and community leaders in these efforts.
