Senate Bill 2 was a contentious piece of legislation that would effectively ban community water fluoridation in Louisiana. Thanks to the advocacy efforts of the LDA, its members, and countless public health organizations, the bill did not pass.
Because anti-fluoride sentiment has ties to the Make America Healthy Again campaign championed by U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., this topic garners much media attention.
The LDA and the ADA value the years of evidence showing that community water fluoridation at .7 mg/L (equivalent to three drops in a 55 gallon barrel) is a safe and effective public health measure.
Take a look at recent media coverage of the legislative activity surrounding community water fluoridation.
