Dr. Julian, this piece brilliantly walks us through the history and science behind fluoride in public health. It’s fascinating how one observation by Dr. McKay evolved into a cornerstone of dental health worldwide. The balance between communicating benefits and addressing concerns is critical, yet often polarizing figures like RFK Jr. overshadow the nuanced science with sensationalism.

How can we improve public understanding to weigh both benefits and potential risks of fluoride more effectively, especially in an age of widespread misinformation?
