ADHA takes stand on fluoridation

The American Dental Hygienists’ Association (ADHA) has released a statement supporting community water fluoridation.

Former presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claimed on social media that the Trump administration would remove fluoride, which he called "industrial waste" linked to various health issues, from public water systems.

Like the Massachusetts Dental Society and dentist Dr. Jay Grossman, the ADHA strongly supports water fluoridation as a safe, effective, and equitable way to prevent dental caries, reduce oral health disparities, and improve public oral health.

Research and endorsements backed from leading health organizations, including the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization validate their support, according to the statement released December 18.
