Water fluoridation is the process of addition of fluorides to the drinking water supplies so as to allow good dental health. Fluorides are present everywhere in the environment. At low levels it is not harmful but higher levels of fluoride are dangerous. Small levels of fluoride prevents in tooth decay. Among children whose teeth are forming excessive fluoride level has the ability to cause dental fluorsis‚ where as in adults this can lead to skeletal fluorosis having joint pains‚ denser bones
