Community water fluoridation exposure and dental caries experience in newly enrolled members of the Canadian Armed Forces 2006-2017.
This cross-sectional study examines the dental caries experience of new Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members in relation to enrollment from municipalities with and without water fluoridation. ⋯ Residence in a municipality with water fluoridation was associated with reduced caries experience in a national sample of newly enrolled CAF members. The benefits of water fluoridation were uniform across neighbourhood income and military rank classes.
