Fort Myers City Council is the first in SWFL to keep fluoride. Council listens as dentists plead to protect poor kids' teeth

Florida's drinking water could change statewide as a new bill banning local governments from using "water additives" has been filed. Newsweek has contacted Florida's Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services via email for comment.

The Lake Mary City Commission will discuss whether or not to remove fluoride from the drinking water at a meeting tonight. Several local cities have opted to remove it, including Longwood earlier this week.
