riodic dental check-ups. They are
also the people least likely to seek
a doctor's or dentist's prescription
for fluorides.
Poor leeth can have a marked
influence on the health and well
being of a person. Decayed and
missing teeth mar facial appear
ance. This can be quite important
to young people, particularly, and
tend to destroy self-confidence. It
may impair the ability to speak
distinctly which might be a defin
ite handicap through their lives.
Missing teeth among older people
tend to cause ,'aulty chewing. Poor
nutrition frequently results. Decay
in the teeth provides an inroad to
infection and abcess which, as ev
ery doctor knows, can be detri
mental to general health.
Our national expenditures for
dental bills by individual families
amounts to about one and a half
billion dollars a year. Despite this,
fewer than half of the American
people receive adquate dental treat
ment. The nation's outstanding
dental authorities state that cur
rent facilities and personnel can
not possibly catch up with accumu
lated dental defects.
If all of America's ninety thous
and dentists were to begin at one
coast and work their way across
the continent, repairing every
body's teeth as they went along,
it would be many years before
they reached the other coastline.
Meanwhile, all of the graduates of
all the dental colleges would be
. unable to keep up with the new
tooth decay as it developed. This
is why dental societies, colleges,
and research centers stress pre
; ventive measures.
It is often asked why the den
lists are in favor of fluoridation
if they stand to lose business by
fluorides reducing tooth decay. The
answer is that tooth decay occurs
about six times as fast as the den
tists can keep up with it. There
fore, if universal fluoridation were
to reduce all tooth decay ultimate
ly to one-third of its former level,
it would still occur approximately
regularly. A sampling of the pub
lie showed that 88 per cent said
that people should visit a dentist
for periodic examination and treat
ment, yet only about 40 per cent of
the population is actually seen by
dentists during a year. Money, he
reports, is a problem, but the de
gree of neglect far out-runs the in
ability to meet the cost.
"Just as the public docsn t give I
dental care an adequate place in
the family budget, it has not in-j
sisted on adequate dental care pro-1
grams in the schools. Nor has it I
given enough support to fluorida
tion of water supplies a sate,
proven method of materially re
ducing dental disease. The public
has also been lax in its support
of public programs to provide
more than emergency dental treat
ment to those on public assist
ance." It seems unlikely that dental
schools will turn out enough den
tists in the forseeable future to
meet the dental needs of this coun
try. Again, preventive dental meas
ures seem to be the only answer.
There is good evidence that fluor
idation is gradually being accept
ed across the country as the meth
od of choice for preventive dental
health. If we ue the estimated
120,000.000 people ir areas served
by community water supplies as
a base, we find th- proportion with
fluoridated water is about 38 per
cent. By the end of 1959. til per
cent of all communities with popu
lations over SOO.OOO had fluoridated
water. Communities having popu
lations between 1C.0OO and SOO.OOO
were 34 per cent fluoridated. Only
8 per cent of communities tinder
10.000 population fluoridate their
water supply.
It is the considered opinion of
the writer that it is high time the
communities in Douglas County
recognize the seriousness of the
dental health situation here and
take positive steps to improve it
by the safest, cheapest, most ef
fective means known fluoridation
of public waters.
