Is fluoridation safe?

Yes. The safety of community water fluoridation has been studied more thoroughly than any other public health measure during the past 50 years.

Since the 1940s, hundreds of scientific studies have shown that the use of fluoride at levels for optimal dental health has no harmful effects.

Extensive reviews of fluoridation by leading experts have found no connection between fluoridation and cancer.

There has been no evidence that low levels of exposure to fluoride causes problems to other parts of the body. It has not been associated with birth defects or syndromes.

I know chlorine is bad for my aquarium fish, but the World Health Organization has stated that the "Risks to health from DBPs are extremely small in comparison with inadequate disinfection."
