Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo is moving ahead of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — posed to be the next Health and Human Services Secretary — and calling for Florida communities to cease adding fluoride to the water supply.
“Due to the neuropsychiatric risk associated with fluoride exposure, particularly in pregnant women and children, and the wide availability of alternative sources of fluoride for dental health, the State Surgeon General recommends against community water fluoridation,” the guidance states, listing other ways Florida can support oral health:• County health department dental clinics, which provide dental services to communities.
“On January 20, the Trump White House will advise all U.S. water systems to remove fluoride from public water,” Kennedy wrote on November 2 in a post on X. “I’ll tell you that after the recent election, President Trump has named Mr. Kennedy to be his H-something-something director, and Mr. Kennedy has made it well known and has publicly said that he wants fluoride out of the water around the entire country,” Commissioner Brad Dantzler said.
