Steven M. Levy

Steven M. Levy's research centers on fluoride exposure and its long-term effects on dental health, using large longitudinal cohort studies (such as the Iowa Fluoride Study and Iowa Bone Development Study) to track outcomes like tooth decay, bone strength, and oral health quality of life from childhood into adulthood. His work also extends into public health topics such as community water fluoridation policy, Medicaid dental coverage, teledentistry access programs, and machine learning approaches to predict dental caries risk.

Publication output has fluctuated over the past decade, with higher counts around 2017-2018, a dip in the early 2020s, and a moderate, fairly steady pace of roughly 9-13 papers per year in recent years.
