Fluoride Update Live Webinar
Several high-profile events in recent months raised questions about the safety and effectiveness of community water fluoridation — a caries prevention strategy that reaches nearly three-quarters of the US population on public water systems. This session with Dr. Scott Tomar (Professor and Associate Dean for Prevention and Public Health Sciences at the University of Illinois Chicago College of Dentistry) will review the evidence behind the headlines and suggest what you can tell your patients and policymakers.
