Fluorides are commonly added to dental products – and sometimes to tap water – to prevent cavities.
Under what conditions can fluoride exposure be beneficial or detrimental to human health?

A First-Ever Project Benefiting Disproportionately Harmed Citizens and Other Groups
Background: The Lillie Center Inc. is a small public health training firm that has expended more than 7,000 hours of uncompensated staff time over five years toward the goal of ending the harmful practice of water fluoridation. Our approach has been to use as ammunition the little-known data of government, private sector, and dental organizations that document harm from fluorides. Using this approach, we were instrumental in causing the National Kidney Foundation to withdraw its name from the American Dental Association’s list of water fluoridation supporters in 2008.
