Public Health Action Framework
Key prevention strategies:
Community water fluoridation School-based sealant program Preventive dental visits by age one Engaging primary care providers to provide
Risk assessment and early disease detection Fluoride varnish Anticipatory guidance
Engaging prenatal care providers and perinatal networks to promote oral health
Increasing the capacity to treat disease
Fluoridation

Medicaid Redesign Team Recommendations
13) Medicaid Coverage of Water Fluoridation: To address disparities in access to dental services the Workgroup recommends that Medicaid funding be made available to support costs of fluoridation equipment, supplies and staff time for public water systems in population centers (population over 50,000) where the majority of Medicaid eligible children reside.
Is there a link between severe fluorosis and caries?
“Severe enamel fluorosis compromises thathealth-protective function by causing structural damage to the tooth… Moreover, the plausible hypothesis concerning elevated frequency of caries in persons with severe enamel fluorosis has been accepted by some authorities, and the available evidence is mixed but generally supportive.”
- NRC Report 2006 (Page 3)
