SUMMARY: In Madison, Alabama, a debate continues over adding fluoride to the city’s water, with concerns about expensive damage to the water treatment plant. Dr. Steven Mitchell, a pediatric dentist, explains that fluoride, discovered in the early 1900s, strengthens teeth and reduces cavities. While natural fluoride levels vary, many U.S. cities add regulated amounts to water. In Alabama, counties with fluoridated water have significantly lower rates of tooth decay in children compared to those without. Despite some parental concerns about fluoride harming brain development, studies often cite excessive fluoride levels not seen in U.S. water. The regulated 0.7 ppm fluoride concentration prevents decay without health risks.

The conversation continues in Madison about whether the city should continue to add fluoride to the city’s water supply.
