If anything, the results of this study suggest that you could pay some scientists to figure out what the ideal rate of fluoridation to prevent both cavities and streaky enamel might be in societies where people brush their teeth.

The bit about 12% of people being at risk of streaky enamel at 0.7 ppm number is probably in reference to the CDC recently changing their recommended level from 0.7 to 1.2 ppm to just 0.7 ppm.

And it's possible that rich people brush their teeth more often than poor people but we don't know.

as an aside, actual symptoms of fluorosis are pretty freakin rare. You can find reports of fluorosis in the medical databases alright, but no symptoms. Pretty much always some kid ate some toothpaste and their mom rushed them to the emergency room, and the doc looked at their chart and gave them a high calcium milk shake.


I can just look in the mirror at my own teeth, Wisconsin's water is flooded with fluoride that is naturally occurring in addition the stuff that is added as well as it being in every brand of toothpaste almost so fluorosis is far more common that you are letting on. I believe I should be be compensated for the damage done to my teeth by these public water companies, I did not consent. I am not someone's medical experiment.
do you also stand in the surf and yell at the water for lapping on your feet and stealing your epidermis away?


I dunno, do you enjoy it when you bend over for big brother government?

I should have specified *adverse symptoms are pretty rare.

And if there is enough fluoride in the water naturally, they shouldn't add it.

what I enjoy is having healthy teeth, not entertaining your silly anti-goverment strawman

they do and a good portion of the population has permanently damaged teeth as a result of it, it doesn't have to be "adverse" for the effects to be felt. Cosmetic disfigurement of teeth isn't something to laugh at. 100% it is has effected my life, I hate my teeth and do not show them in public.
