Who We Are

We are a group of Canadians who recognize that water fluoridation is a public health measure that benefits everyone. Our work is based on the consensus opinion of scientists who read and understand the peer reviewed literature.

On this website, we provide reliable information about fluoridation and address many false claims.

We provide support to local residents of any community in Canada who seek to improve the oral health of their community through fluoridation.

Our Story

The Canadian Fluoridation Society’s journey began when an interdisciplinary group of people joined forces following the Federal Government’s decision to allocate $13 billion over five years for dental treatment.  This substantial investment acknowledges the widespread unmet dental needs and the high costs associated with treating dental issues. However,  prevention is always preferable to treatment because it reduces pain, suffering and financial burdens.  Fluoridation is an effective preventive measure, effortlessly reaching everyone who drinks tap water.  Fluoridation offers a safe and cost-effective means of reducing dental decay by approximately 25%.
