ADHA led the charge, working with Rep. Lois Frankel (FL-22) and 12 co-sponsors from five states to introduce a new resolution affirming community water fluoridation as safe and evidence-based to the U.S. House on Feb. 27. Fluoride works, and your profession is making sure Congress knows it. Read on: adha.org/newsroom
