Session Description: Water fluoridation is the single most influential regimen to improve oral health for all.

Challenges to fluoridation continue to plague the health of our families. It is time to use all resources available at our fingertips.

The goals of this session will provide you with concrete guidance on making the most of what is available to you, from the whole-body health effects of dental decay, its economic impacts, how to approach the leading messenger of community health information, the media, to using this information to educate your community and ignite advocacy.

This session features a national health news reporter for NBC, a state dental director and expert in systemic impacts of poor dental health, and the chair of a state oral health coalition. Each of these experts will help map a pathway that you can use immediately to engage with their peers to bring positive impacts on community water fluoridation.
