This map shows the percentage of each state’s population that receives fluoridated water.

Kentucky comes in 1st place with 99.9% of residents. Hawaii is last with just 10.8%.

The CDC states that 18,502 individual community water systems across the country monitor fluoride levels.

Cities of all Sizes

This map shows just a handful of fluoridated cities across the nation, both big and small.

Is there fluoride in your tap water?

Use the CDC website to find out.

If your water isn’t treated.

According to the CDC …

31,379,130 people are on their own water system.

71,879,509 are on community systems that aren’t fluoridated.

If you’re in one of these groups, consult with your dentist.

They can explain to you how to create a proper fluoride exposure, so you can get the benefits it provides too.
