: This study reports on the number and percentage of community water systems (CWSs) meeting fluoride concentration standards set by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). The study also explored changes in the population exposed to optimally fluoridated water in these systems between 2006 and 2020. : This study analyzed U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data from 2006 to 2020, tabulating state-specific CWS fluoridation rates, ranking them, and calculating the percent change. : In 2020, 72.7% of the US population received CWS water, with 62.9% of those individuals served by a CWS system meeting DHHS fluoridation standards. This compares to 69.2% receiving CWS water in 2006 and 74.6% in 2012. The overall change in those receiving fluoridated water was 1.4%, from 61.5% in 2006 to 62.9% in 2020. State-specific percentages ranged from 8.5% in Hawaii to 100% in Washington DC in 2020 (median: 76.4%). : Although endorsed by the American Dental Association, the percentage of individuals receiving fluoridated water did not increase substantially from 2006 to 2020, indicating that there has not been much progress toward meeting the Healthy People 2030 goal that 77.1% of Americans receive water with enough fluoride to prevent tooth decay.
本研究报告了符合美国卫生与公众服务部（DHHS）设定的氟化物浓度标准的社区供水系统（CWS）的数量和百分比。该研究还探讨了 2006 年至 2020 年间这些系统中接触最佳氟化物水的人口变化情况。
本研究分析了 2006 年至 2020 年美国疾病控制与预防中心的数据，统计了各州 CWS 氟化率，对其进行排名，并计算了百分比变化。
2020 年，美国 72.7%的人口饮用 CWS 水，其中 62.9%的人饮用的 CWS 系统符合 DHHS 的氟化标准。这一比例与 2006 年的 69.2%和 2012 年的 74.6%相比有所上升。在饮用氟化水的人口中，总体变化为 1.4%，从 2006 年的 61.5%上升到 2020 年的 62.9%。各州的具体百分比范围从 2020 年夏威夷的 8.5%到华盛顿特区的 100%（中位数：76.4%）。
尽管美国牙科学会认可了氟化水，但从 2006 年到 2020 年，饮用氟化水的人口百分比并没有显著增加，这表明在实现到 2030 年 77.1%的美国人饮用含氟量足以预防龋齿的水的“健康人民 2030”目标方面，并没有取得太多进展。
