Opinion | Making America's Teeth Rot Again
Briefly

The recent call by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to end water fluoridation has created a potential public health crisis, especially affecting disadvantaged children. Previous cases in places like Calgary, Juneau, and Israel have shown that banning fluoride leads to increased dental problems and healthcare costs. Poor oral health can lead to severe issues, including cardiovascular complications and Alzheimer’s disease. While fluoride is acknowledged for its health benefits, the risks associated with excessive consumption have fueled opposition against water fluoridation, yet the consequences of bans may be dire and far-reaching.
"Fluoride is a miracle mineral that can strengthen tooth enamel and hinder bacterial infection, but...it can cause unwanted side effects in excessive doses."
