The bit you’re missing is that, much like transformers or power rangers, if you combine the two, you get a better result. Fluoridated water and fluoridated toothpaste brings you more benefits than just the toothpaste. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never lived in a fluoridated area. One time treatment. And you never brushed your teeth in 60 years? One off treatment. I'm sorry but I dont believe this to be true. 'One off' treatments last a few months. The coating wears off. How could you imagine anything different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omobono Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 you only have to see how many people buy bottled water in the Isle of Man now , we used to pride ourselves on the quality of Manx water , free from chemicals , soft and refreshing , all that will happen is the supermarkets will import more plastic bottles of water , fluoride is available with many toothpastes and it should be an individuals choice , I don't want my food cooked in this dangerous chemical 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst technically correct, I bet the measurable effects on tooth quality for 2x brushings per day vs 2x brushings per day plus fluoridated water are indistinguishable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philwebs Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 For "tooth quality for 2x brushings per day", plus flossing a few times a week, plus inter-dentine brushing a few times a week. Not taught in schools (as with many other matters which should be). 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s caustic, causes burns, it oxidises metal, inhalation can cause death. Used everywhere from industrial processes to nuclear reactors to enhancing athletic performance. It even acts as a fire retardant. Yet you’ll even find it in the bottled water. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit it's not caustic, it doesn't cause burns etc etc Nothing to do with fluoride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
