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.
Untested well water so I'm not positive. I think it genes/biology is a huge part.
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.
Great reasonable, and mature reply!
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.
