💨 Abstract

Florida lawmakers have approved a bill to ban fluoride in public drinking water, citing concerns about intellectual development in children. The bill now awaits Governor Ron DeSantis's signature. Dentists and public health advocates argue that fluoride is safe and effective in preventing cavities. The ban would require the removal of fluoride and some other additives from water sources across the state. Utah was the first state to pass a similar ban last month.
