Onsite Tour of a Local Water Plant and an Actively Fluoridating System

Session Description: Water fluoridation specialists, coordinators, and other oral health program staff will travel to an Orlando water facility for a tour of a fluoridating system. Onsite experience is paramount, especially for those new to the subject, to gain a deeper understanding of practical, "boots on the ground" aspects of fluoridation. It is often challenging to fully comprehend the daily operations and challenges faced by our partners in the field from our office settings. Seeing firsthand the processes and efforts involved in maintaining a fluoridated water system will bridge this gap in understanding and enhance our collective expertise. Firsthand experience will not only educate but also inspire and solidify our commitment to advancing public health through fluoridation. The tour will be given by local staff and facilitated by session presenters. The workshop is free but pre-registration is required. Limited to 45, first come, first served. Transportation to the site is TBA and will be coordinated..
