Florida lawmakers followed Utah’s example and passed a bill Tuesday banning the addition of fluoride to public drinking water. The bill is awaiting Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis’ signature after passing the Florida House 88-27.

Utah is the first state to ban fluoridation of drinking water. However, some other places that have banned fluoride have seen spikes in dental disease, especially among children.

A bill that was recently passed by both houses of Utah's state congress would put a full ban on fluoride in public water systems.
