    The was no fluoride where I was born and lived for the first two years of my life. I’ve had a mouth full of cavities all my life.

      I never had flouride at all, ever, in my water and I’ve only had maybe 2 cavities.

        1. people do have different teeth.
        2. are you sure? Keep in mind that the most common reason to not flouridate water is because natural flouride levels are sufficient.

            Genes do play a role in dental health. Water flouridation very effectively does a better job providing better results to more people with great reliability. That’s backed by a huge amount of data.

        I lived in a properly fluoridated region and have not had any!

        Ignore anecdotes kids and use statistics!

        My brothers had flouridarted water and few cavities. You won’t convince me that’s not at fault.
