Decades of science show it’s beneficial, and we keep seeing the outcomes validated in practice. Calgary removed fluoride from drinking water, saw a significant increase in dental carries in children, and is adding it back. [1]

Hawaii does not fluoridate and has high rates of children’s tooth decay [2]
