Why does the City add fluoride to my water?
Fluoride occurs naturally in City of Dayton well water and in groundwater throughout the United States. Our water treatment plants supplement the natural fluoride to protect teeth from dental caries (cavities). The natural fluoride is increased from approximately 0.35 parts per million to 1 part per million. After City of Dayton residents voted in favor of fluoridation the Ohio EPA required Dayton's water plants to feed fluoride continuously.
