摘要

A study was conducted at Fort Irwin, which is a natural highly fluoridated area,to determine the type of water used for drinking and cooking purposes and to investigate the knowledge, attitude, and behavior of post residents toward fluoride. Approximately 63% of households with children responded to the questionnaire. While only 7.6% of parents claimed their children drank tap water, in-processing and family housing personnel need to improve their education of incoming soldiers and their families when discussing tap water consumption at Fort Irwin and its possible effects on children's teeth.
