At less than $1 per person, per year for water fluoridation, there is no other such preventive measure which even approaches its cost-effectiveness.  Seeking to deprive the entire community the benefits of this public health initiative through replacement with provision of one shot fluoride rinse would not only result in far less effective dental decay prevention for the community, but significantly more expense.
