Summary
Rural America faces rising tooth decay as anti-fluoride sentiment grows and dentist shortages persist.
Nearly 25 million Americans live in “dental deserts,” while about 230 counties lack both dentists and fluoridated water.
Anti-fluoride momentum surged after a controversial report linked high fluoride levels to lower IQ, leading to fluoride bans and cuts in Medicaid funding.
Experts warn that cutting fluoride and Medicaid could drastically worsen dental decay, especially among low-income children.

The fluoride shit started with the Birchers, which are where a lot of the right conspiracy crowd started. Alex Jones dad was a Bircher, and the collaborative creative writing exercise known as Qanon also takes a lot of inspiration.
finally some work for that glut of dentists offering cheap services everywhere! oh, wait…
Well, you could of course quit your godawful american sugary sodas that are worse than drinking straight up acid, and brush your teeth twice a day. But freedumb, I guess.
