Water fluoridation in North Carolina
FLUORIDATION PERMITTEDCommunity water fluoridation is permitted in North Carolina, though coverage varies from one local water system to the next — and the practice is under renewed national debate.
Following a September 2024 federal court ruling that ordered the EPA to review fluoride under the Toxic Substances Control Act, and a National Toxicology Program report linking high exposure (above 1.5 mg/L, more than double the U.S. target) to lower IQ in children, a number of states have moved to restrict fluoridation. The American Dental Association and CDC continue to support community water fluoridation at 0.7 mg/L as safe and effective against tooth decay. Patients who prefer fluoride-free care often look for practices that use hydroxyapatite-based prevention instead.
