Fluoridation Fails Arkansas

 In 2011, Arkansas passed a fluoridation state-wide mandate. Today (July 2025), “Sixty percent of Arkansas kids have received dental cavities,” Dr. Burke Soffee, founding dean of Lyon College School of Dental Medicine, said. “Which is a shocking statistic that certainly indicates that there is a need to break the cycle.” https://www.kark.com/news/health/lyon-college-school-of-dental-medicine-hosts-give-kids-a-smile-day-to-help-combat-arkansas-oral-health-crisis/

Fluoridation Fails Australia

90% of Australians are served fluoridated drinking water.

"A lack of oral health literacy among caregivers and access to dental services is driving tooth decay in young children, research from Edith Cowan University (ECU) has confirmed, with early childhood tooth decay affecting nearly half of Australian preschool aged children. If left untreated, cavities and tooth decay can impact children’s quality of life, causing acute pain, sepsis and tooth loss, which could impact both feeding and speech development."
