i. Full accreditation is given to fluoride.org.uk

ii. Data tables and graphs are not altered and presented as given on this website

	Graph 1. How much is spent on child treatments? Age under-18.
	Graph 2. Gross fees including capitation (treatments and registration costs per child). Age under-18.
	Graph 3. 'No Dental Intervention' - Number of preventative measures for children (inc. varnishes, sealants, etc.). Age under-18.
	Graph 4. Ordinary fillings per child. Age under-18.
	Graph 5. Extractions per child. Age under-18.
	Graph 6. Children screened by Community Dental Services - Ages 0 to 4
	Graph 7. Children screened by Community Dental Services - Ages 5 to 15
	Graph 8. How much is spent on child treatments? Comparing Wolverhampton to Manchester. Age under-18. This comparison has been included because Wolverhampton has been 100% fluoridated since 1997 (previously 32% fluoridated). It gives some idea how dental health expenditure increases after water fluoridation is fully introduced.
