The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of the U.S. change its view on fluoride

For decades, fluoride has been marketed and proclaimed as an essential product for good oral hygiene and used in most tooth pastes and mouthwashes. It has also been routinely encouraged parents to seek to give their children fluoride treatments to combat tooth decay when they visit the dentist.

Beginning in the forties and with the help of lobbying campaigns of the industry concerned, the U.S. government urged local authorities to fluoridate their drinking water supplies. According to the Centers for Disease Control in this country (CDC by its initials in English), about 40 percent of the U.S. population ingested fluoride from drinking water and seeks to increase this percentage. This contrasts greatly with the attitude of European countries where fluoride is rarely administered in drinking water, In Britain, for example, only 10 percent of the population receives fluoridated water.

So it was, but now are different.

In a surprising change in the month of January, the EPA announced that it intends to lower the maximum permissible limit of fluoride in drinking water to the growing body of evidence on the possible harmful effects that this element may have on children's health.
