Growing up with fluoride in the drinking water made no difference for me. Unfortunately, I am missing 3 teeth and have a mouth full of fillings. Growing up my parents were too busy with their drama and addictions to ensure my dental health and understanding would have a positive outcome. My dental health is my biggest regret in life and now that I have young kids you can bet that I am ensuring they learn to take care of their teeth. Flossing and brushing with fluoride toothpaste also refraining from so much candy. Your blood sugar level and the sugar on your teeth also affect your dental health. I see no problem removing fluoride from drinking water as it’s not in water from nature. Much of today’s dental issues are from all the sugary snacks we have all become addicted to from the pumped-up sugar content.

Fluoride in water was never about teeth.

Filtration is not going to remove fluoride ions F- from water. So, if the water is fluorinated, it will have a positive effect on your teeth whether it it is filtered or not. Filtration through activated carbon can remove organic contaminants like chloroform etc.

1. a LOT of people still drink unfiltered tap water.
2. fluoride is not lost during the cooking process and is still absorbed by your teeth when eating products cooked with fluoridated water. We have been using fluoride and researching its’ effects since 1940s and after only 10 years there was a 60% reduction in cavities.

When looking at the reasons for starting this process, it is a no brainer to continue doing so, it actually makes perfect sense. Using our tax dollars ($3.00/person annually) to greatly decrease dental care costs ($20 for every $1 invested in fluoridization) is a much better investment than what you propose.

Cool, cool remove the fluoride but leave the chloroform and cyanide that ECUA’s study confirmed is in the water great choice.

All those comments about how important is is to have floride in our water supply, do you not brush and floss?
I stopped using floride years ago, and yes, I have all my teeth, no cavities, no gum disease.
If you feel that floride is an important part of dental health, by all means, have at it!

How does putting fluoride in the public water supply help peoples teeth?
Ask yourself this simple question with the following context:
1. Who drinks unfiltered tap water?
2. How does fluoride help when its primarily being used to bathe in and cook with?

Its a no brainer, this crap makes zero sense. It would be significantly more worth it to encourage brushing and advance dental technology.

Kinda like selling you diet coke with aspartame instead of just encouraging you to work out and eat under maintenance calories to lose weight.

Just buy fluoride toothpaste and brush twice a day and floss, you’ll be alright.

@Wow what
Floride is to protect those young kids that dental care was a luxery . The cost of floride far out weighed the cost of under priviledge kids dental costs in this country

@ John
