However, he discovered that drinking water is associated with the prevention of decay. Churchill and his colleagues measured very low amounts of fluorine in water, thus discovering the health importance of fluorides. Dean and colleagues followed fluorine research that led to the fluoridation of drinking water in home networks in a large number of countries Unfortunately, this innovation has created controversy that has hampered the application of this important health procedure in many countries - yet the widespread use of various forms of Fluorides has saved billions of teeth from decay in the 20th century.
