At a time when states like Utah have stopped adding fluoride to public water systems, 81% of adults in the U.S. report supporting or not being opposed to community water fluoridation, according to a report from the CareQuest Institute for Oral Health.
Only 6% of adults polled supported a complete ban on water fluoridation, according to the report.
“This survey confirms that the campaign against water fluoridation is out of step with not only the vast majority of the scientific and medical communities, but with the American people, too,” Melissa Burroughs, senior director of public policy at CareQuest, said in a press release dated July 22.
