PA Fluoride NOW Debuts Interactive Map for Residents to Learn if Their Water Has the Best Fluoride Level to Protect Teeth
Date:9/4/2008

HARRISBURG, Pa., Sept. 4 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- PA Fluoride NOW, a coalition of approximately 250 individuals, organizations, and community foundations dedicated to improving oral health in Pennsylvania, has added an interactive map to its website. The website will let residents find out if the water they drink contains the optimal level of fluoride to protect their teeth.

"Just over half of Pennsylvania's citizens currently have optimal fluoride levels in their drinking water, but it's been tough for families to know if their water supplier was taking this step to improve oral health," said Russell Johnson, President/CEO of the North Penn Community Health Foundation (NPCHF), a leading partner of PA Fluoride NOW. "With this new, easy-to-use interactive map, that information is just two mouse clicks away."

The map is on the coalition's website, http://www.pafluoridenow.org. By clicking on the region of Pennsylvania where you live, you can click on your community to determine whether your water has the best level of fluoride to protect your family's teeth. Municipalities where public water suppliers optimize fluoride levels are shaded dark blue. Municipalities served by multiple water suppliers where some do and do not have optimized fluoride are shaded lighter blue, and municipalities where fluoride levels are not optimized are white.

"Fluoride occurs naturally in water at various levels and those levels must be adjusted to optimum percentages (only 1.8 to 2.2 parts per million) in order to prevent tooth decay. Properly fluoridated water has been proven by more than 60 years of research and testing to reduce tooth decay by 20 to 40 percent," said Dr. Thomas W. Gamba, president of the Pennsylvania Dental Association, a member of the PA Fluoride NOW coalition. "Optimizing the level of fluoride in drinking water is one of the easiest and most effective ways to improve public health
