Public Health Updates

Understanding Fluoride and Oral Health

Access to fluoridated drinking water is a proven public health strategy that improves oral health and reduces differences in access to preventive dental care. Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel, lowers the risk of cavities, and reduces the need for costly dental treatments. Drinking fluoridated water is a simple and effective way to support oral health. You can visit CDC’s online tool to check the fluoride levels in your community and read trusted information about fluoride.

Don't Give Bugs a Biting Chance

If you’re planning outdoor activities this summer, protect yourself from mosquito bites. Cover up with loose fitting clothes or use EPA-registered bug repellent to keep mosquitoes away. Check out CDPH's Mosquito Repellent page to find out which one is the right one for you.

Stay Cool This Summer

Extreme heat can cause heat exhaustion, heat stroke and even death. When it’s hot outside, stay in an air-conditioned area as much as possible or cool down with a cool shower or by using wet cloths. Try to stay cool by going to an air-conditioned library, mall, movie theater or going to the beach. Check out cooling centers in your city and county.
