The aim of a recent NHMRC systematic review of fluoride and health was to synthesise high level evidence in relation to the efficacy and safety of different forms of fluoridation, with emphasis on those able to be delivered as a widespread public health initiative. Methods of fluoride delivery reviewed were water, milk, salt and topical agents such as toothpaste and gels, though the evidence for water fluoridation is the most extensive.
