I live in a town where most people grew up on well water, but we grew up in cities in another state with fluoridated water.

Each of brushing frequency, use of proper toothpaste, flossing, diet, hydration and I think even genetics affect dental health more than fluoride. The point is fluoride in water provides a good catch-all if those practices aren’t followed.
- const_cast 2y agoThe studies on fluoride in drinking water indicate HUGE reductions in cavities. I don't think it's a catch-all, it's just effective.
