Figure. Drinking water and DMF-S. (A) The relationship among DMF-S, calcium, and fluoride in Danish drinking water, where each column represents one of the 249 Danish municipalities, covering a total of 52,057 children, which were included in the analyses. (B) The nonlinear relationship among calcium, fluoride, and DMF-S according to the model for DMF-S (Eq. 2), where both the estimate for fluoride (–0.18 ± 0.03; p < 0.001) and the estimate for calcium (–0.11 ± 0.02; p < 0.001) were negative and highly significant.
