Abstract
To compare changes in dental health between non-fluoridated Stourbridge and the towns of Dudley, Sedgeley and Coseley, Brierley Hill and Kingswinford, and Halesowen that were artificially fluoridated in 1987. BASCD co-ordinated studies of total samples of 5-year-old children. State funded primary schools in the Dudley Health Authority area. All 5-year-old children present on the day of examination in the years in which total population studies were conducted. Drinking water fluoridation commenced in 1987. The percentage of children with no experience of decay in their primary dentition. The percentage of children with no experience of decay in the fluoridated towns increased but remained the same in non-fluoridated Stourbridge. Drinking water fluoridation is associated with an increase in the percentage of 5-year-old children with no experience of tooth decay.
