Many people here swear by Amish tooth powder.

I use Amish tooth powder! It took a while to get used to the salty taste, but now I love it. My teeth feel really clean afterward, and conventional toothpaste tastes cloying and sweet now.

That should be incorrect. Children need fluoride in their toothpastes, and I think all of them have it. If all kids brushed regularly, the whole "need" to inject fluoride into the water supply would be pointless.

Some would say that no one needs fluoride and the whole infesting water with fluoride thing is not necessary at all, for any reason.

Do you realize that fluoridation is the most monstrously-conceived and dangeous Communist plot we have ever had to face? ... A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works.

In all seriousness, though, I know very little on this topic. I use Crest Pro-Health and have not investigated whether or not this is the best choice. And there is no fluoridated water where I currently reside.
