Fluoride is a mineral that is added to public drinking water supplies in much of the United States in order to reduce levels of

tooth decay. When a tooth is forming, fluoride strengthens the enamel, or outside coating of the teeth. The fluoride mixes with the enamel, making it harder. In addition, when fluoride mixes with saliva, it can protect teeth from sugars, further reducing tooth decay. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) states that drinking fluoridated water provides additional protection even for people who simply brush with fluoride toothpaste. Reports on the impacts of fluoridated drinking water have concluded that it reduces tooth decay by about twenty-five percent.

Answer:

Cause and effect

Explanation:

You can rule out sequence since it's not really telling a story

It's not Compare and Contrast because it's not stressing the importance of water with fluoride or without fluoride in the water

It's not Problem and Solution because water without Fluoride was not an issue, simply a precaution.

Leaving C) as our answer, this shows the effects of Fluoride in our drinking water and how it affects the population.

Hope this helps!

How does Mallam religion shape his character? How do these aspects of his character lead to conflict?
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
Because he was an extremely religious person and found peace and salvation in faith because he was blind, he was a very nice and good person. People generally used to take advantage of him, because he was so nice, yet he did nothing to confront them. Only when he got married did his wife stand up for her husband and did the community start respecting him.
