USA - Bisbee’s decision to remove fluoride from water criticized
Public health officials are warning Bisbee residents that they may be more susceptible to cavities after city officials removed fluoride from the southern Arizona city's water supply.
Fluoride levels fell well below the federally recommended level of 0.7 milligrams per liter after the move earlier this year, the Arizona Daily Star reported earlier this week.
Nationwide, more communities are opting to fluoridate their water supplies, said Kevin Earle, the executive director for the Arizona Dental Association.
Earle's organization sent a letter to Bisbee council members following their February decision and asked them to reconsider, he said.
