Summary
President-elect Donald Trump’s support for Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an outspoken opponent of water fluoridation, is pushing baseless anti-fluoride views into mainstream debate.
Despite scientific consensus that fluoridation is safe and prevents tooth decay, especially in underserved communities, Kennedy plans to advise water districts against it, citing unfounded health concerns.
While fluoridation decisions are regulated by state and local governments, Trump’s administration could influence conservative states to drop fluoridation, potentially undermining a key public health tool and increasing dental health disparities, particularly for disadvantaged children.
Lmao thats such an old hat but it keeps coming out again and again.
Just wait for all the other crazy stuff that he will float. I can see a health advisory in the US s future for the rest of the world… and needing to be up on your polio vaccines before going to the US.
But it seems like people in dental school now have golden times ahead.
