Fluoride in the water ...

I will say we use toothpaste without Fluoride (will use toothpaste with it if that is what is available). The science is changing. Not an exact answer for sure. And I think this is a dumb thing to make a huge issue over. It should not be political. I will not lose sleep over water having fluoride in it. But I will say you may not want to have it every time you visit the dentist unless you have a history of real decay issues. We do not recommend it for our patients unless there is a real reason or they really want it.

 

General Ripper warned us long ago about the corruption of our precious bodily fluids via the fluoridation of drinking water. High time we listened.

 

That you, Mandrake?

 

Anecdotal. Upper 40s. Have grown up on fluoridated water my whole life. Drink tap water daily. Never had a cavity.

I'm indifferent to the issue as I don't know enough either way. A doctor I used to work for was the same although he said fluoride was a waste product that turned into a profit maker for companies that once had to dispose of it as a byproduct.

 

Fluoride is the equivalent of a daily vaccine for the teeth. Removing it would be foolish at best

 

Huh, where I live there are communities that have fluoride and some that don’t. Local dentists here claim they can tell if a patient grew up living in a community with fluorinated water or without.

 

Well, I grew up in the country where we had a well, no fluoride in our water and yet somehow my mom, dad, brother and myself never had issues, but we did brush our teeth twice a day
