Calgary Reinstates Fluoride in Drinking Water to Improve Dental Health

Calgary has made the decision to reintroduce fluoride into its drinking water supply, responding to public demand and concerns over the declining dental health of children. The move marks a reversal of a 2011 policy that had eliminated fluoride from the city’s water, a decision that was later reversed by residents through a vote. Studies have indicated that the removal of fluoride was linked to worsened dental health outcomes among children, prompting the city to take action to address the issue.
