Dangers of Water Fluoridation
Water fluoridation is unnecessary and should not be added to drinking water. Fluoride is added to drinking water (even bottled water is sold with added fluoride) to help prevent cavities and tooth decay, specifically in children.
However, according to the US Center for Disease Control & Prevention, it does not provide substantial benefits to oral health. For these reasons, a civil rights group, the League of United Latin American Citizens, is opposing water fluoridation.

Consuming too much fluoride during the development of tooth cells (which obviously takes place during childhood) can cause a condition called Dental Fluorosis. Dental Fluorosis causes the teeth to become brittle and discolored (white and brown spots).
Excessive amounts of fluoride consumption may also cause additional health problems.
