It could likely be replaced with hydroxyapatite instead (it also can be used to remove lead and other things from water, which makes searching about being added to municipal water difficult). Good for not only teeth, also bones.
I also wonder if adding other vitamins would make more sense (just enough to stop deficiencies) if we're talking about health outcomes, though the first idea I had with vitamin C came up with results of that messing with the chlorine in the water.
Let's just not add things to water except to ensure it stays as close to safe from infectious disease as possible. Water is water, it shouldn't be more than that. Even if what you add is safe for humans, what about the ten billion other uses tap water has that affects the environment.
People shouldn't have to buy filters if they just want water instead of whatever some random group thinks the population needs instead of just water
