There are plenty of previous "let's get rid of fluoride" movements. Your favorite AI can find plenty of examples.
Calgary, Albert. Ceased fluoride 2011. Excellent comparisons available with Edmonton (nearby). >75% increase in number of children requiring general anesthesia for treatment. >125% increase in primary tooth decay surfaces. Fluoride reinstated 2021.
Windsor, Ontario, Ceased 2013. Decision reversed 2018 after the same negative effects were observed. It took four more years for the water supply to be fluoridated again.
Juneau, Alaska.Ceased 2007. 50% increase in mean dental treatment cost per child. Research compares Juneau and Anchorage (did not stop fluoridation), and the findings are completely consistent with existing research.
It goes on and on.
And yet, somehow, we're back here again. Good luck, parents of Alabama!
