Fluoride is a compound which occurs naturally in both groundwater and surface water. At low levels, fluoride can provide protection against tooth decay by increasing the durability of tooth enamel. The USEPA has set a maximum drinking water standard for fluoride of 4 parts per million (ppm). EPA has also set a secondary fluoride standard of 2 ppm to protect against dental fluorosis (tooth staining or pitting in developing teeth of children under 9 years old).
