You don't need to know. Statistically dental health increases when municipal water is fluoridated.
Having read many studies on this the consensus is it probably does not help much if the population has adequate dental care.

We know what works, dental care and brushing have a huge benefit that is proven.
The idea of giving everyone fluoride in the water supply is pretty retarded really for several reasons.
If it naturally occurs fine, but adding it is ridiculous.
Ok, so for the poor people without care in those populations we say fuck them?
The mentally ill that don't do self care?
Fluoridation is providing a baseline. "Does not help much" is a useless statement if that includes everyone with the means for higher levels of care.
There are a bunch of policy decisions that are like this. Yes, it won't help you. Get over it, you aren't the whole city.
yes! someone finally arrived at the entire platform of the republican party: fuck everyone who's not a rich cunt.
You don't even know where the fluoride comes from that is added to our water supply. Open your fucking eyes and realize it is okay to be wrong

Pharmeucutical grade fluoride works great topically. Dumping a toxic chemical in our water supply is borderline insane.

I don't care if the fluoride source is toxic waste. It's not injected in any quantity to do anything but provide positive effects.
Are you going to criticize chemo therapy for being gasp RAdiOaCtiVE???? This is the same thing.
"I don't care if the fluoride source is toxic waste."
Thanks for that quote. It really sums up your understanding of the situation.
I don't think you're in a position to talk about understanding anything here
Oh here comes toxic waste defender! You guys are a sad parody.
Atoms are atoms...
you said it yourself.
