Abstract
The article discusses the controversy surrounding fluoride in community water systems, highlighting its proven benefits in reducing tooth decay and minimal risks at recommended levels. Despite being a top public health achievement, fluoride removal is debated due to concerns about neurotoxicity and fluorosis. The ADA advocates for maintaining fluoridation to promote public health and equity.
