Three notes:
1. The city approved the water fluoridation project at the urging of dentists in June, but another vote was added after a request came from a commissioner who was reluctant to approve the project.
2. The commission approved the project with a 3-2 vote Dec. 16 after a heated debate and public comments.
3. Several Florida cities are weighing water fluoridation after Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo, MD, PhD, spoke against the practice last month.
