Trump's is expected to push to ban fluoride from drinking water, prompting renewed discussion about its safety and efficacy.
Fluoride is a natural mineral found in rocks. It helps dental health by strengthening tooth enamel, making it more decay-resistant and preventing cavities. While almost all waterways contain some fluoride naturally, levels aren't normally high enough to prevent tooth decay. Adding fluoride to tap water first started in 1945 in Michigan, and in the UK 2 decades later.
