But forcing it into the water supply is basically forced medication on people,” DeSantis said. “They don’t have a choice. You’re taking that away from them.” Read more: https://www.cnn.com/2025/05/15/health/florida-fluoride-ban Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, consistent exposure throughout the day helps to support tooth enamel (net benefit), decreases cavities and tooth decay by 25%, and supports forming strong tooth enamel for children. The CDC estimates that the fluoridation of water saves the US population around $4.6B in dental work every year.
