Abstract

Fluoride helps in the interception and prevention of tooth decay, so since 1975 its addition was mandatory in all public water supply networks. Thus, this study aims to demonstrate through literature review whether fluoride in public water supply is an option or an imposition on society. It is a bibliographic review study carried out after a survey of specialized literature in the area. In order to do so, a study was made of laws and policies that talk about water fluoridation in Brazil and its regions and mandatory requirements foreseen in the Federal Constitution. Concluded that fluoride in public water supply is an imposition and that fluoridation of the public supply systemically is a safe, effective and low-cost method.
