Fluoridated Water Supply and Promotion of Oral Health in Children of Low Socioeconomic Status- A Cross-Section Study

Abstract

Epidemiological studies now show that diseases in general are related directly to social conditions and not only to biological factors that, in the past, were considered the main determinants. Cultural differences, low education, low family income and cultural habits are risk factors related directly to the development of oral diseases such as caries and periodontal disease [1][2][3][4].
