Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Many countries around the world add low levels of fluoride (0.6–1.5 mg/L) to their drinking water supply, due to strong evidence that fluoride at such low levels significantly reduces the incidence of dental caries. Also, in many parts of the world, fluoride levels well above permissible limits for drinking are found naturally in groundwater. There is sufficient evidence that fluoride levels above 1.5 mg/L pose a detrimental health impact for humans as well as animals. In this Special Issue we invite submissions that examine both the adverse and beneficial effects of various levels of fluoride in drinking water on human health, in the form of reduced dental caries, occurrence of dental fluorosis, skeletal fluorosis, carcinogenicity, neuro-toxicity, and any other effects on human health.
