What does this measure?
The percentage of the population on community water systems that receive fluoridated water.
Why is this important?
Drinking fluoridated water helps reduce tooth decay and promotes good oral health. Community water fluoridation has led to a significant decrease in cavities in the U.S.
How is Arkansas doing?
In 2020, 86% of residents were receiving water from systems with fluoridation, a huge increase from 48% in 2000.
There were still 8 counties with no fluoridated systems: Calhoun, Fulton, Montgomery, Pike, Scott, Searcy, Sharp and Bowie County, TX, which shares the City of Texarkana with Miller County, AR. Metropolitan counties including Pulaski, Washington, Benton, Hot Spring, Cleburne, Faulkner, Sebastian, Van Buren and Conway had all or nearly all residents receiving fluoridated water. Madison County began serving about 20,950 residents in June of 2020.
