Fluoride shortage halts U.S. water fluoridation due to Middle East conflict.
A shortage of fluoride in U.S. drinking water is emerging due to supply chain disruptions linked to the ongoing Middle East conflict.
Israel, a major global exporter of the key chemical, is facing workforce shortages as employees are called to military service.
Several U.S. water utilities, including WSSC Water in Maryland and the borough of Lititz, Pennsylvania, have had to lower or temporarily halt fluoridation.
While officials say the water remains safe, experts warn that reduced fluoride levels could increase the risk of tooth decay, particularly in children.
Officials are monitoring the situation closely.
