First let me be clear: I’m not a crazy conspiracy person (…on this) I just don’t rely on a municipal well. As far as I know adding fluoride to the private well at my houses is not a thing, good or bad. I did drink municipal water for two years when I lived on campus in college.
That said, is fluoride a benefit to adults or just children?
When I was a kid I got fluoride treatments at the dentist, but then aged out. I’ve never had a cavity in forty years, but I’d like to keep it that way. Should I still be doing it?
Also no, I’m not using the internet as a substitute for a dentist, just my next dental appointment is in four months. TIA
Wow, that does sound political!
Again, I’m not at all talking about additives to municipal water. That’s clearly good. Just since my houses don’t have it I’m curious if there’s a missed opportunity for better.
Seems like “yes but small” given already using fluoridated toothpaste
You can always add a fluoride mouthwash to your routine if you’re worried.
Appreciate the cool head responding to me. I was probably a little more worried about subtext than I needed to be! I’ve just seen a massive surge in skepticism around fluoride lately and it has me concerned.
