The NTP has been working on a systematic review of a possible relationship between fluoride exposure and neurodevelopmental and cognitive health. 

The ADA sent five recommendations for the report in an April 28 letter to Kathleen Gray, PhD, chair of the NTP Board of Scientific Counselors. The ADA said its recommendations aimed to enhance the report’s scientific integrity, clarity, transparency and timeliness. The dental agency also noted that its revisions support the scientific literacy of the public and elected officials who oversee water fluoridation policies.

At the Becker's 5th Annual Future of Dentistry Roundtable, taking place September 14-15 in Chicago, dental leaders and executives will gain insights into emerging technologies, practice growth strategies and the evolving landscape of dental care delivery, with a focus on innovation, patient experience and operational excellence.
