Does Fluoride Help Adults too?

Most definitely! A controlled study at Washington University showed that adults exposed to fluoridated water only after age 14 had on the average 6 fewer decayed or filled teeth than those with no exposure to fluoridated water.

In people who grew up on fluoridated water, the incidence of root area decay was shown to be substantially less than similar people who grew up without fluoridated water
.
In a recent New York study, the majority of dental patients surveyed believed incorrectly
that brushing alone will prevent decay.

The ADA recommends adults use fluoride daily in addition to toothpaste and professionally applied fluoride twice a year.
