The NTP concluded that drinking water with more than 1.5 milligrams of fluoride per liter is consistently linked with children having lower IQs.

From Salon

"The NTP review was designed to evaluate total fluoride exposure from all sources and was not designed to evaluate the health effects of fluoridated drinking water alone. It is important to note, however, that there were insufficient data to determine if the low fluoride level of 0.7 mg/L recommended for U.S. community water supplies has a negative effect on children’s IQ."

From Salon

Dr. Philippe Grandjean, a scientist of environmental medicine at the University of Rhode Island, has also done extensive research into fluoridation but he believes that the NTP report was "unusually modest and fails to recognize the substantial and negative public health impact of fluoride."

From Salon

"Comparisons between children exposed to high and low fluoride levels in drinking water have shown an average of 6-7 lower IQ levels in the highly exposed children. This was our conclusion in our report from 2012, which is essentially confirmed by the NTP report. The EPA has previously regulated other toxic substances, such as lead and mercury, due to their adverse effects on brain development. Allowing fluoride addition to drinking water therefore questions the governmental reasoning in regard to the protection of the next generation’s brain health."
