Jacksonville Daily Progress: City of Jacksonville to begin adding fluoride to water supply

Jacksonville Daily Progress: City of Jacksonville to begin adding fluoride to water supply:

"In 2000, the Texas Legislature passed a resolution requiring the Department of State Health Services to conduct a study of the cost of publicly financed dental care in relation to community water fluoridation. The study suggested that government-funded fluoridation programs could reduce average Medicaid dental care costs by $19 per visit if communities maintain optimal water fluoride levels of 0.8 ppm."
