Sunrise has stopped adding fluoride to its potable water as of July 1st, in compliance with Florida Statutes (F.S.) 403.852 and F.S. 403.85. The State Legislature passed a bill, that prevents water providers from adding water quality “additives” to a drinking source. As a result, Florida is the second state, Utah being the other, to not include fluoridation.
With fluoride no longer added to our drinking water, you may want to consult with your dentist or pediatrician. There are alternative ways to ensure adequate fluoride intake for strong teeth.
Consult with Professionals:
- Dentist or Pediatrician: Discuss your specific fluoride needs with your dentist or pediatrician, especially for children.
