While 72 million Americans stare down at their neglected molars and abandoned dental plans, the anti-fluoride crusade marches on like a zombie apocalypse hitting a toothpaste factory. Dental care’s price tags have skyrocketed to a Kanye West Grammy night level of unreachability, but that hasn't stopped some from rallying against water additives proven to keep cavities at bay. Picture millions dreaming of floss but stuck flossing excuses, as anti-fluoride activists push back against a chemical savior just when smiles needed saving most. It's a plot twist worthy of a soap opera—except the villain is affordable hygiene.
