What is the most cost-effective and practical preventative measure to prevent tooth decay?

  1. Regular dental check-ups

  2. Community water fluoridation

  3. Using dental floss

  4. Eating less sugar

The correct answer is: Community water fluoridation

Community water fluoridation is the most cost-effective and practical preventative measure to prevent tooth decay because it benefits everyone in the community, regardless of income or access to dental care. While regular dental check-ups are important, they can be expensive and not everyone has access to them. Using dental floss and eating less sugar are also beneficial for oral health, but they are not as effective as community water fluoridation in preventing tooth decay. Additionally, using dental floss and eating less sugar require individual effort, whereas community water fluoridation is a widespread and easy solution that benefits everyone.
