In Table 3, the correlation of 0.30 between MUF(SG) and MSF should be 0.41 (significant at p < 0.01).

The results presented in the statement “a 0.1 mg/L increase in community water fluoride was associated with increases of 0.001 (95% CI 0.000, 0.003) in MSF and 0.001 (95% CI 0.000, 0.002) AFF”, were rounded to 3 significant digits and the confidence intervals had a lower bound of zero. When rounded to 4 digits, the relationship between a 0.1 mg/L increase in water fluoride and MSF is 0.0014 (95% CI 0.0002, 0.0026) and the relationship between water fluoride and AFF is 0.0010 (95% CI 0.0001, 0.0019).

The lower limit for the 95% CI for MUF(SG) in Table 4 of −0.006 is correct, while the stated lower limit of + 0.006 as appears in the text, is a typo, and should reflect the − 0.006 value in the table.
