It is a reasonable assumption that the average dentist in Windsor charges more then $150k in treating the effects of tooth decay. Most studies show that adding fluoride to the water will reduce tooth decay by about one half. Therefor the $150k allocated to fluoride added to the drinking water is a great cost savings in addition to the reduced pain and suffering of the patients.
