What is the currently recommended concentration of fluoride in community drinking water for caries prevention in the U.S.?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. 0.7 ppm (the current CDC/PHS-recommended level)
The U.S. Public Health Service updated its recommendation in 2015 to a single optimal concentration of 0.7 mg/L (0.7 ppm) for community water fluoridation, replacing the older range-based recommendation (0.7–1.2 ppm) that had varied by climate.
