  1. fluoridization

    Fluoridization is the process of adding fluoride to a substance, particularly to public water supplies, with the aim of reducing tooth decay. The fluoride strengthens the structure of teeth and makes them more resistant to decay. This is often done in areas where the natural levels of fluoride in the water is too low to provide these benefits. The ideal level in many countries is considered to be around 1 part per million (1 ppm). It is considered a common public health practice in many parts of the world.
