Calgary Reintroduces Fluoride to Its Drinking Water

Calgary began reintroducing fluoride to its drinking water on June 30, 2025, following a city council directive and public support.
This action follows a 2021 plebiscite where more than 61 percent of voters favored community water fluoridation to improve public dental health.
The city plans to upgrade its Glenmore and Bearspaw treatment plants at a cost of $28 million with an annual $1 million for operation and maintenance.
Professor Juliet Guichon stated that the measure acknowledges the importance of oral health for all residents of Calgary and anticipates that cavity rates will decline gradually.
The reintroduction implies a renewed public health focus after a decade of data showed fluoridation removal worsened dental health and delays postponed implementation.
