Water supplies in Sturgeon Bay, Algoma, Kewaunee, and Luxemburg are among those communities with fluoride.  Some opponents in Green Bay are again challenging the need for fluoride and its safety in drinking water to promote dental health.  A federal judge in 2017 denied the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's motion to dismiss a lawsuit that seeks to ban the fluoride additives used in community water fluoridation.  Now, those same opponents have filed a new lawsuit to force the City of Green Bay to end fluoridation based on new data showing health risks.  Some health care professionals in Door County oppose fluoridated drinking water.  Dr. Levi Arnold, with Peninsula Chiropractic Center in Sturgeon Bay, believes any benefits are outweighed by potential risks.

Dr. Gina Grenfall of Smile Designs of Door County says fluoridation is safe though she adds it's far from a cure-all.

Both doctors say that people need to take responsibility to limit sugar intake to reduce overall health risks.
