I am in the minority of dentists who think we should stop fluoridating our public drinking water. Let’s not debate the safety or lack thereof of the fluoridation. Let’s just talk about how it is simply unnecessary. People who drink mostly water (from early adolescence into adulthood) are already inherently less susceptible to tooth decay. No, it’s not because they are getting extra fluoride. It’s because anytime they are drinking water they are not drinking decay-causing dumpster juices (sodas, energy drinks, “juice,” etc). They do not need the added anti-cavity effect of water fluoridation because they are already avoiding the major liquid sources of tooth decay. If we want to reach those in need, we should fluoridate the dumpster juices. The cohort of dumpster juice consumers is conveniently the group of people who are both most likely to need the fluoridation intervention, and the least likely to be concerned with drinking poison.
