Literature Review Of Rural Water Fluoridation Cessation, Amanda Klyn, Vaughn Moser, Blake Miller, Samantha Benson

Celebration of Research

A literature review was performed between September 2018 and November 2018 to determine the effects of community water fluoridation cessation in rural communities, namely in Ida Grove, Iowa. Eleven articles were selected using inclusion and exclusion parameters, analyzed by the researchers, and summarized. Results of the literature review highlighted the benefits of fluoridation, which outweighed the possible risks. A plan of action was set out by the researchers to best promote optimal fluoridation in rural communities.
