New York City’s world-renowned tap water protects teeth as it quenches thirst, thanks to the fluoride it contains. But there’s a possibility that could change if federal fluoride standards do — and federal officials from two different agencies have promised to revisit them. U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. last week said he intends to tell the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to stop recommending fluoride in drinking water.
