近日,美国儿童牙科学会(AAPD)联合250家专业卫生组织及研究机构,向国会及联邦卫生官员提交联名信,强调社区水氟化的安全性与有效性,并反对终止该公共卫生政策的提案。

该信件是对美国卫生与公众服务部部长罗伯特·F·肯尼迪(Robert F. Kennedy Jr.)近期声明的直接回应。肯尼迪此前宣布将指示美国疾病控制与预防中心(CDC)不再推荐饮用水氟化,而美国环境保护署(EPA)表示将跟进相关指令。

联名机构指出,若实施此举,将严重威胁美国儿童及成人的口腔健康,并加剧医疗资源分配不均的问题。

信件强调,自20世纪50年代推行社区水氟化以来,该措施被公认为20世纪十大公共卫生成就之一,显著降低了美国龋齿发病率。

联名机构警告,若突然终止该政策,可能导致龋齿病例激增,现有口腔医疗系统将无法应对随之而来的急诊、手术及修复需求,弱势群体将首当其冲。

数据显示,目前全美超过70%人口通过公共供水系统获取氟化水,其中低收入家庭、少数族裔及农村居民受益尤为显著。

联名机构驳斥了关于氟化水安全性的争议,指出相关讨论多基于片面信息和对研究的误读,强调氟化水在近一个世纪的应用中已通过广泛研究验证其安全性。

美国儿童牙科学会表示,公共卫生专家正通过监测氟摄入量,平衡龋齿预防与氟斑牙风险,确保氟化物浓度处于合理范围。

“社区水氟化是唯一能覆盖所有人群,尤其是最易患口腔疾病且资源最匮乏群体的防龋手段,”联名信指出。各组织承诺将继续支持地方及州政府维持水氟化政策,并呼吁联邦政府尊重科学证据。

目前,联名信已抄送美国卫生与公众服务部、环境保护署及CDC负责人。参与联署的机构涵盖全美各州牙科协会、儿科组织、残障权益团体及公共卫生联盟。
