Fluoride has a complex impact on human health, offering both positive and negative systemic effects. It is well-established as a crucial component in the prevention and treatment of dental caries, primarily due to its ability to strengthen enamel against acid decay and support remineralization. For many years, fluoride has been added to community water supplies in numerous regions, bringing significant benefits, especially in reducing dental cavities in children. However, a strong opposition to fluoride use in public water systems and as a food additive has emerged, with critics raising concerns about its safety. Recently, in the United States, the issue was reignited when a court ruling suggested that water fluoridation could pose unreasonable health risks, including a potential decrease in children's IQ. Additionally, statements from the US Department of Health and Human Services have sparked further debate, with some suggesting that the risks of fluoride may outweigh its benefits. This article aims to revisit the topic of fluoride, exploring its advantages, ongoing controversies, and potential risks. The review addresses the dual role of fluoride in both personal dental care and public health, emphasizing the need for careful and equitable strategies for its application to ensure safety and effectiveness.
