abstract: The availability of adequate supplies of fluoride chemicals is a critical factor in consistently maintaining the optimal fluoride concentration in water supply systems. The most recent shortage of fluoride chemicals occurred in 1982. The factors precipitating and contributing to periodic fluoride chemical shortages are discussed and recommendations for preventing future shortages are outlined.
