Florida became the second state in the country after Utah to ban local governments from adding fluoride to their public water systems.
Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the bill at Simpson Lakes in Dade City – about 38 miles northeast of Tampa – on Thursday. The law is set to go into effect on July 1.
“We certainly now, in our society in 2025, we have the ability to deliver fluoride through toothpaste and all these other things,” DeSantis said at an event for the signing of the bill. “You don’t gotta force it and take away people’s choices. But the whole crux of the issue is you should be able to make decisions on the basis of informed consent.”
“Forcing this in the water supply is trying to take that away from people who may want to make a different decision rather than to have this in water,” DeSantis added.
Dental plan … no more fluoridated water
90% of the people that agree with this legislation are living off diet soda, lite beer, and energy drinks - not pure water.
Hey… 😥
Is that “hey” as in “Hey, I think this legislation is stupid, but yes, I never drink water and bathing my teeth in high pH drinks all day long”
My teef are fine. I don’t know what you’re talking about.
You got more than one toof? Lucky
…you ever take it off any sweet jumps?..
Don’t listen to these fools, your body is a temple. 🙏

Drink water. It’s ok to drink other things, but in moderation.
And already lost their teeth years ago.
Dumbasses
Good. Let all of them suffer.
Sorry, not sorry, I don’t give a crap anymore about US citizens. Nothing personal, but you guys let this happen, you guys gave the world trump TWICE. He said he’d fuck all of us over, you laughed, even though you already have seen him do that before, and now you’re all leopard faced.
If you’re an American, then it sucks to be you but you’re getting all that you deserve, enjoy your rotting teeth that you can’t remove because dentists and other healthcare will become unaffordable soon. I don’t care, go suffer in silence
Nothing personal
Sure sounds like it’s personal. But if all of us are to blame then please enlighten us, let’s hear about how you would have prevented Trump from coming to power a second time if you were American.
Soon? It already is
I don’t know the best way of bringing this up, but the Americans complaining about the damage of Trump aren’t the ones who voted for him. They don’t deserve to be doomed to a fate they didn’t choose.
Once again proving Republicans are Fuuuucking stupid.
Florida is replacing the fluoride with citric acid and splenda.
Soon, electrolytes. It’s what plants crave!
“You don’t gotta force it and take away people’s choices.”
Like, I don’t know, maybe abortion desantis YOU FUCKING MORON.
I recently found out my municipality does not add flouride to most of our water, because it’s naturally flouridated enough already to meet the recommended amount.
Apparently concrete water tanks, the type on a lot of rural houses, are naturally fluoridated. My kids have really good teeth which was a surprise given the number of fillings I had as a child.
He’s taking the fluoride out of fluorida
It owns the libs, therefore, it’s good, obviously.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_fluoridation_by_country
Most European countries including Italy, France, Finland, Germany, Sweden, Netherlands, Scotland, Austria, Poland, Hungary and Switzerland do not fluoridate water.
Out of a population of about three-quarters of a billion, under 14 million people (approximately 2%) in Europe receive artificially-fluoridated water. Those people are in the UK (5,797,000), Republic of Ireland (4,780,000), Spain (4,250,000), and Serbia (300,000).[27]
Don’t the have high levels of fluoride in toothpaste?
Possibly but they are not drinking their toothpaste.
And that’s the difference. Fluoride is good for our teeth. But the US doesn’t have high fluoride toothpaste. These places do.
So put it in the toothpaste?
No can do. Americans eat and swallow too much of toothpaste.
This is the country that has to let people know to not drink gasoline. Or that coffee is hot.
And when are we going to fix the real problem with our water. Too much hydrogen.
You mean not enough lead?
They just need to invest in H2Flow.
Clown car shit
For the purity of all our natural bodily fluids.
How do I invest in Florida dentistry?
