As long as I continue to brush with floride toothpaste, this shouldn’t matter. Right?
Well, I’ll say that most highly thought of European counties don’t do it so, yeah, use fluoride toothpaste and you’re gucci.
Most European countries including Italy, France, Finland, Germany, Sweden, Netherlands, Scotland, Austria, Poland, Hungary and Switzerland do not fluoridate water.

Oh, despite us Finns not fluoridating water, there’s quite a lot of it in well water.
Finland
Kuopio is the only community in Finland with at least 70,000 people that has ever had water fluoridated.[56] Kuopio stopped fluoridation in 1992.[86] In regions with rapakivi bedrock (small, but densely populated regions), 22% of well waters and 55% of drilled well waters exceed the legal limit of 1.5 mg/L; generally, surface and well waters have 0.5-2.0 mg/L fluoride in affected regions.
“we don’t flouridate our water”
“Our water naturally has flouride”
Some of it.
So?
Most don’t have any.
So it makes your point unclear. Are you saying that they have good teeth even with no flouride in the water and not using flouride toothpaste?
Yes.
There is no need to add fluoride to drinking water, even when fluoride is good for cavities.
It’s not my problem if you want to have dirty teeth.
Wash your fucking teeth man
Oh, I see. I think I get the misunderstanding.
Poor people in this country have no money and no support. There’s no free toothpaste fairy floating around giving out supplies. In some parts of the country there isn’t even sewer lines.
But I understand, it’s easy to mistake us for a first world country because you only see our media. We’re not. We’re a third world country with first world coasts.
Wash your fucking teeth man
You’re privileged. Learn some creativity and empathy, or stop wasting the world’s oxygen.
Honestly not a bad idea. Fluoride doesn’t actually provide much of any benefit for those who brush their teeth. If anything we ought to be asking why we keep spending money on it now that brushing is entirely normal.
It’s not as common as you’d think unfortunately - and not all parents make their kids brush which is totally not their fault. So as long as it doesn’t harm anyone to keep it in and helps some why not?
Hmm, same guy mad about “woke” games. Shocker.
Because, the cost to rewards ratio is unbelievably high in this case. Putting fluoride into water is super cheap and the public benefit it creates is huge.
This is especially important for parts of the population that depend on others for their healthcare (kids). If your parents didn’t teach your to brush your teeth, creating good habits and providing the right materials, the fluoride is going to do a lot for this children.
the public benefit it creates is huge
Uh… the whole point I’m making is that the benefit is almost nonexistent.
Are you basing your opinion entirely upon what sounds better to you politically, instead of actually knowing anything about the issue?
You’re just talking out of your ass. Why should anyone believe you? Where’s your data to support the idea that “most people brush”, and further that there isn’t any benefit for people who do brush?
