Why Everyone’s Talking About Fluoride And What It Means for You

A major health shift is making headlines. Here’s what you should know.

On March 28, Utah became the first U.S. state to ban fluoride from its public water supply. The new law taking effect May 7, 2025 makes it illegal for any person or government body to add fluoride to public drinking water.

For decades, fluoride has been added to tap water as a way to help reduce cavities. But now, growing concerns around its potential side effects - including thyroid health, cosmetic dental issues, and even possible impacts on children’s brain development are prompting many people to take a closer look.

A recent study published in JAMA Pediatrics found an association between high fluoride exposure and lower IQ scores in children. While the research community continues to debate the topic, one thing is clear: more families are rethinking fluoride in their daily routines.

And this shift isn’t just happening overseas.
