I grew up drinking pure natural well water pumped by a solar panel on the family farm.
I have a TON of cavities.
I wish I drank floridated water.
Read what happened to people who grew up in the first fluoridated city Grand Rapids, Michigan
I’m 53, from Dutch background, born 1952 in Grand Rapids, Michigan - the first city in the US to get fluoride added to the water, starting in 1945. I think it’s possible that genetic susceptibility is involved, but my close relatives in Holland, where it’s against the law to add fluoride to the water, don’t have thyroid disease, and the relatives here who live in fluoridated cities do. My American relatives who stayed on the farm drinking well water lived into their nineties! Most of my mother’s high school friends who stayed in Grand Rapids are either dead of cancer or have Alzheimer’s. These are women who should be still healthy and functional in their seventies - nonsmokers, educated, involved in church and community, stable middle class incomes, not overweight.

My problem was too much candy and sweet kids cereal - and not enough brushing - and I hated the Dentist’ visiting him only when I was in pain. I had serious periodontal disease by the time I was a young adult, and no amount of Fluoride was going to help. My saving grace was marrying the daughter of my Dentist. Today I have zero cavities. Besides marrying the Dentist daughter I would highly recommend to buy a Sonicare brush. Its been one of the best advances in Dentistry since Fluoride.
i drank tap water my whole life, which i assume has been fluoridated, until i moved up here in on the hill ten years ago and have drank nothing but pure spring water since then, and it' been nothing fillings falling out and cavities since. i'm not advocating fluoride, i'm just sayin...
