Fluoride Flak: Dental Experts Weigh In
Many of us have been told for most of our lives that fluoride is greatly beneficial to our health. So how did we get from fluoride in the public water supply being one of history’s great public health achievements to it standing trial in the court of public opinion? We invite Drs. Bina Katechia and Aadarsh Gopalakrishna from the UConn School of Dental Medicine to deliberate and render a verdict.
(Dr. Bina Katechia, Dr. Aadarsh Gopalakrishna, Carolyn Pennington, Chris DeFrancesco, February 2025, studio and technical support by Ethan Giorgetti)
