Is the tide is beginning to turn for community water fluoridation?

Abstract

Three recent developments, of (i) a USA District Court finding that community water fluoridation at 0.7 mg/L presents an unreasonable risk of injury to health; (ii) a Cochrane Library report finding the benefits of community water fluoridation are slight and less than previously found; and (iii) the State Surgeon General of Florida recommending that community water fluoridation is stopped in his state, raise a question as to whether or not the tide is beginning to turn against the practice of adding fluoride to community drinking water in order to reduce dental caries.
