Gov. Kevin Stitt also ordered the officials to submit a written report documenting fluoridation practices.

The Oklahoma State Department of Health has removed its recommendation that fluoride be added to public water systems, joining a growing number of states that have rolled back similar guidance.

An archived version of the webpage states the department “supports community water fluoridation and recognizes the practice as safe, cost-effective and beneficial to all who drink and use the water.” The page now returns an error message.
