What they need to do is gather statistics on dental health. It could take a decade or two, and ideally they've been recording the statistics for a good decade beforehand, for comparison.

But I doubt those making the rules care much for actual data, and only care about the result that makes them feel better about themselves.

This already happened long ago. It was proven to be a net win. It's just that red scared generals and brain worm officials are concerned about their precious bodily fluids, which is why they take their kids to play in polluted creeks.
