Health authorities have promoted community water fluoridation for the past 75 years to reduce dental caries. The safety of fluoride in vulnerable populations, like pregnant women and infants, however has not been studied until recently. This video describes the history of water fluoridation and presents recent research that found fluoride is toxic to the developing brain.
Dr. Christine Till presents some of her research on fluoride and the developing brain to the Rotary Club of Calgary.
