And the CDC states that fluoridation works topically. So how does it make sense to add it to the water?
If you want to hear from medical, dental and scientific professionals who are very highly qualified to comment on the subject, look at the video "Professional Perspectives on Water Fluoridation" here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88pfVo3bZLY

My two adult children have grown up without fluoride - and also have no cavities. But my neighbour grew up in fluoridated Melbourne, Australia, had dreadful tooth decay, and now has a full set of dentures. So I doubt fluoride in the water had anything to do with the two people you mentioned.
Fluoride works topically, not systemically. Even the CDC admits that. So why do they keep pushing to have it in the water? Vested interests is one big reason. Read the dubious history of fluoridation in investigative journalist Christopher Bryson's excellent book, "The Fluoride Deception" if you want to learn the facts. View Comment
In the interests of community health and wellbeing, the Town Board needs to consider what Dr Hardy Limeback, recently retired Professor of Preventive Dentistry at Toronto University has to say about fluoridation at this link:
Here are some excerpts:
“In my estimate, repairing all those teeth with objectionable fluorosis costs families (on average) more money than it costs to treat the dental decay that fluoridation supposedly prevents.”
“Dental fluorosis caused by water fluoridation is scarring our kids’ teeth for life. The practice is morally and ethically indefensible and it has to end.”
Dr Limeback used to be an advocate of fluoridation, until he researched it himself. Because of what he learned he issued a public apology to his former students for previously having promoted the practice. That speaks volumes about his courage and ethics - and about this unethical, outdated, unsafe and ineffective practice.
