Florida defluoridates

Gov. Ron DeSantis signed into place a Florida law banning fluoride in public water supplies. It makes me recall my late friend John Messinger, who was a dentist. I am sure he would have been in favor. He also didn’t like people who flossed. “Don’t floss, ever,” he once said. “It’s good for business.” Imagine all the extra work DeSantis just created for Florida’s dentists. https://apnews.com/article/fluoride-ban-florida-ron-desantis-9bb4713fb27d966d963e559cab98f992
