- Removing fluoride from US public water could cause 25.4 million additional tooth decay cases in children and adolescents over five years.
- Associated dental care expenses are expected to reach $9.8 billion initially and double after a decade, straining healthcare resources.
- Low-income children and those on Medicaid would disproportionately suffer from increased dental decay without fluoridated water.
- While fluoride reduction might prevent 200,000 fluorosis cases, the rise in cavities and related health impacts would far outweigh these benefits.
This is a huge cost for our country and it’s all avoidable. There is no better replacement for the time-tested, doctor trusted use of fluoride in community water programs.— Dr. Brett Kessler, president of the American Dental Association, said in a statement.
