More than 75% of Minnesotans are served by fluoridated community water systems, per the latest CDC estimates.

Why it matters: Dental and public health experts have long argued in favor of adding fluoride to public water supplies to help prevent tooth decay.

  • But fluoridation remains controversial among detractors who view it as a form of government making a personal health choice.

Friction point: The issue is once again becoming a political flashpoint, with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. calling for an end to the practice.

  • Utah and Florida recently moved to ban fluoride in their water systems.
