Two cities stopped adding fluoride to water. Science reveals what happened
SMRTR summary
Tooth decay in children has increased in Calgary since fluoride was removed from drinking water in 2011. Studies show higher decay rates in Calgary compared to Edmonton, which still fluoridates. Similar trends occurred in Juneau, Alaska after ending fluoridation in 2007. Despite opposition, experts maintain water fluoridation safely prevents tooth decay. Calgary voted to reintroduce fluoride in 2021, while debates continue elsewhere.
