Introduction
Fluoride enrichment of drinking water is one of the major public health advances of the 21st century. While fluoride toxicity has been reported with acute intoxication (Gessner et al., 1994; Penman et al., 1997), emerging data suggests that even low levels of exposure may be associated with adverse effects in vulnerable populations (Wei et al., 2021a; Yasmin and Ranjan, 2015; Riddell et al., 2019; Green et al., 2019). While there are known determinants of fluoride toxicity, i

Oral health inequities at a global level persist. This is despite marked advancements in technology, service delivery, training, research and population-level initiat
Water-fluoridation stance
Of the 55 web pages included in the scoring process, 28 (51%) were pro-fluoridation, 16 (29%) were neutral and 11 (20%) were anti-fluoridation. Analysis of the top 10 results returned by the most-used search term (‘fluoridation of water’) showed that of the top 43 results (seven were excluded from scoring), 20 (46.5%) were pro-fluoridation and 13 (30.2%) were neutral. The remaining 10 (23.2%) were anti-fluoridation, with the majority coming from fluoridea

Abstract
Epidemiological studies use biomarkers of fluoride exposure in pregnant women as surrogate measures of fetal fluoride exposure; however, there is little understanding of how pregnancy affects fluoride metabolism and its biomarkers. This narrative review summarizes the changes of pregnancy that have the potential to impact fluoride’s absorpt
