Many places in Europe have high levels of fluoride in their water naturally. In fact many of them are likely getting far too much fluoride.
Also realistically, if people cared about bodily autonomy cars would've been banned immediately thanks to the amount of particulates and local pollution produced causing far more adverse health effects.
If a state wants to ban cars it should be free to do so. I think the benefits outweigh the costs and no one would choose to live there.
Also important to note no one is banning flouride. They're preventing it from being put in the drinking water. The equivalent would be if cars were distributed upon arriving to the state.
The state is taking the rights away from the municipalities. Why not leave it up to the local people? No one was forcing local towns to fluoridate their water.
But municipalities that chose to do so would be taking the choice away from each individual.
I don't know enough to form an opinion about whether Utah's new policy is good or bad, but it is clearly on the side of individual freedom. (of course that's not the only concern)

The equivalent would be if I'm forced to have a government funded road with cars just past my front yard.
