I stopped getting tons of cavities when I started drinking fluoridated water as a kid. I didn't have an electric toothbrush until well into my 20s. So I guess that's 2 data points? What now?
- CoastalCoder 5y agoI wasn't trying to demonstrate that brushing trumps fluoride. I shared my experience in the hope it would spark interesting discussion.
- lotsofpulp 5y agoI know a dentist in a suburb of a city that does not fluoridate. They said they can guess whether or not the patient grew up in the city or outside the city simply based on their dental history.
