Utah last month became the first state to ban fluoride in public drinking water.

The EPA has primary authority to set the maximum level of fluoridation in public water systems.

Nearly two-thirds of the U.S. population gets fluoridated drinking water, according to CDC data.

EPA is reviewing “new scientific information” on potential health risks of fluoride.

Drinking water with more than 1.5 milligrams of fluoride per liter was associated with lower IQs in kids.

Utah Oral Health Coalition chairperson Lorna Koci said she hopes other states push back against the removal of fluoride.

She predicted children will have more cavities as a result.
