Fluoride tablets in a community program.

Under date of August 1968, the American Dental Association issued a statement titled, "Fluoride Tablets in a Community Program," pointing o~t the shortcomings of tablet programs which tend to make such programs unsuitable as a public health measure. Considerable detail is given on the Clifton program. The attached copy of a recent letter from the New Jersey State Commissioner of Health also very effectively refutes the alleged success of the tablet program as a public health measure.
