    the Netherlands doesn’t have fluoride in its drinking water, but most teeth here are pretty healthy. its just that the poor and homeless do have incredibly unhealthy teeth, and Florida has a lot more of those than the netherlands

      Something no one seems to realize is that the poorest people in the South don’t drink municipal water in the first place. These people already have horrible teeth. I’ve seen it first hand and it’s honestly more that they often live in food deserts and their diets are literally honey buns and mountain dew. This is much ado about nothing.
