Not really that simple, I am 45, also had fluoride water, rinses, toothpaste, flossed, brushed regularly, hard pressed to find a tooth in my mouth that doesn’t have a filling, crown etc. It has a lot to do with naturally occurring bacteria. Although I do agree with your statement fluoridation works for many.

There is s direct link to Sodium Monoflourophosphate and the development of cavities in children and adults.

I have never had a cavity in 53 years, my wife has never had a cavity in her 38 years. Her brother, same, my sister who is 60, same. My parents teeth were lousy, a zillion cavities, root canals, etc, etc. My in-laws teeth are lousy too. They are in their early 70’s, my parents were children of the 1920’s and 1930’s.

There is a direct causal effect of sodium MFP and tooth decay.

I appreciate that there are those who don’t want it. Let them install filters to remove it instead of forcing the rest of us to live with lousy teeth.

I don’t trust these “studies” that demonstrate X, when the purpose of the study was to demonstrate that very thing. It is not objective. The premise of the study is to evaluate the effect of flouride ingestion and IQ. And gee, I am stunned to see that they study, supports that fluoride ingestion lowers IQ.

One could argue that over the same period of fluoridation, that the followers of John Dewey have lowered the IQ of those very children by the implementation his ideas.

We are not holding all things equal during the time of the study, and thus the results are suspect.

“Fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous communist plot we have ever had to face.

Have you ever seen a Commie drink a glass of water?

Do you realize that in addition to fluoridating water,there are studies underway to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk... ice cream.

It’s an international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids...”

Duh. Demographics has changed, too (more third world immigrants). Plus the classification & counting is done by the pro-fluoride dental industry.

At 53, I have been drinking fluoridated water all my life. I also have zero problems with my teeth. Never a cavity. Fluoridation works.

Fluoridation also effects your brain.

Things like logic...

Fluoride is also the main component of antidepressants.

I haven’t had a cavity since I was 10 and never had fluoride. Fluoride is a poison, it kills and injures many thousands per year.

What ever happened to eating well and brushing your teeth after meals?

You know, personal responsibility.....

The less draconian option would be to have those who wish to ingest fluoride to buy it and take it themselves instead of forcing it on everyone whether they want it or not and then requiring them to pay out of pocket to remove from the water what they don’t want.

FWIW, I’m allergic to all the chemicals in that chemical family.

Can’t do iodine, chlorine, or fluoride. I have bad reactions to them. And I know I’m not alone.

Public water supplies should be medicated.

Regular cilters do not remove flouride. For the record, my Canadian wife had had zero cavities growing up on well water. My three children had none until AFTER we moved from a well to city water.

Going back to the original study, why is there less concern that BOTH groups had an overall greater increae in tooth decay than the difference between flouride and non-flouride?
