∙ 13y agoSome potential disadvantages of water fluoridation include dental fluorosis (a cosmetic condition affecting teeth) in high concentrations, potential negative effects on thyroid function, and ethical concerns about forced medication through public water supply. Additionally, some individuals may be more sensitive to fluoride exposure and experience adverse health effects.

∙ 14y agoThe disadvantages of adding fluoride to water concern primarily children and infants.
Children who drink fluoridated water are at increased risk of developing fluorosis, a defect of the permanent teeth resulting in staining and, in severe cases, substantial corrosion of the enamel. According to the Centers for Disease Control, about 30 percent of children who drink fluoridated water have some degree of fluorosis. The National Academy of Sciences has also raised concerns about fluoride exposure and bone fractures in the elderly, skeletal fluorosis, thyroid hormone disruption, and neurotoxicity (including effects on IQ). In addition, there is evidence that fluoridated water is linked to osteosarcoma, an often fatal form of bone cancer, in boys.
Besides, both the Centers for Disease control and the American Dental Association now recommend that children under 6 months not consume fluoridated water. This is because infants are at increased risk for tooth damage (dental fluorosis) when they consume fluoridated water (especially when formula made with such water is their only source of nutrition), and because there is little evidence that ingesting fluoride before teeth erupt provides any benefit.
