Nonilex<p>Most Americans drink fluoridated water, including about ½ of <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Utah" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Utah</span></a> residents. The process of adjusting <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/fluoride" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fluoride</span></a> quantities to recommended levels—known as community water fluoridation—reduces <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/OralHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OralHealth</span></a> disparities, acc/to the <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/CDC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CDC</span></a>. Most communities that add the mineral do so voluntarily, but about a dozen states require fluoridation. Some of those mandates have been in place for >50 yrs.
