KEEP ABERDEEN'S WATER HEALTHY.

 

Protect our children's future. Keep a healthy balance of fluoride.
 

Every smile tells a story. In Aberdeen, our community's commitment to water fluoridation helps write brighter chapters for our families. Research shows each person in fluoridated communities saves $32.19 annually on dental care – that's nearly $129 in savings for a family of four while costing the city just $5 per family per year.

 

Now, outside interests are spreading misinformation, threatening this proven and widespread practice. Here's what you should know

​

• Fluoride occurs naturally everywhere in nature – from our rivers and lakes to the ocean.

• The right balance of fluoride is essential for dental health and overall well-being.

• Scientific evidence confirms fluoridation benefits both children and adults.

• Communities that have abandoned fluoridation saw increased dental costs, particularly impacting lower-income families.

​

Don't let Aberdeen take a step backward in protecting our community's health. Some people are using junk science and scary-sounding claims to undermine a proven approach that benefits a vast majority of Americans. More than 74% of Americans drink water with a good balance of fluoride, in cities and towns from Florida and Texas to our own state of Washington. 

​

The balance of fluoride in our water safeguards our children's futures and our families' well-being. Maintaining our current water fluoridation system is a small investment that yields significant returns in dental health and cost savings. Let's make the smart choice for Aberdeen's future.
