So you hope you're only getting that amount, but I'm sure concentrations vary among regions.
The whole point of a fluoridation program is to regulate the concentration and keep it as constant as possible, and it is tested to ensure that the level is pretty close to 0.7 ppm (or 1 ppm in some other cities). It's fairly easy to keep it controlled; it's not like our water comes from hundreds of different sources. In some areas where the concentration is much higher they reduce the concentration instead of increasing it.
