0:49Now PlayingFluoride, a mineral that helps prevents tooth decay, will soon be banned from Florida’s public water systems under a bill signed into law by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis this week.
DeSantis says the restrictions allow Floridians to choose whether they use fluoride. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has expressed concerns that ingesting fluoride can cause health problems, but dental groups are adamant that low levels of the mineral only have health positives, preventing cavities, especially for those without regular access to care.
Florida’s ban begins on July 1. A similar law in Utah, the first state to target fluoride, took effect earlier this month.
