Summary

Description
English: U.S. residents served with community water fluoridation, 1992 and 2006

The percentages are the proportions of the resident population served by public water supplies who are receiving water that is optimally fluoridated for the prevention of dental caries (cavities).

The original commentary for this figure was "Water fluoridation has increased from 62% in 1992 to 69% in 2006, and a greater percentage of Americans are served by fluoridated water systems. Increase in bottled water consumption in recent years, however, may offset potential protection from fluoridated tap water." The figure also said that the 2010 target was 75%.
