[Cicero]

I rarely get a cavity, but after we moved out to the country, I found I was getting maybe one a year. I finally woke up and realized it was because we had a well for our water supply, and it wasn’t flouridated.

So I started rinsing with ACT once a day, and I haven’t had another cavity in 15 years or so, knock on wood. I use flouridated toothpaste, but evidently that wasn’t quite enough to do the job.

The whole movement to flouridation came from observations that in areas where the groundwater is naturally rich in flourides, parts of OK and AZ eg, cavities are relatively scarce. The conspiracy theory is a paranoid fiasco of the fifties.
