I'm 45 years old and raised on unfluoridated water. I have never had a
cavity. I have 3 boys ages 27, 19 and 15. And of the 3 of them, only the
youngest has had a cavity, and he's only had one. We brush with fluoridated
toothpaste and try to avoid the "whitening" varieties, as they seem to make
our teeth more sensitive, and probably strip a lot of needed protection off
our teeth.

I attribute our good teeth to dental care and diet. My boys were breastfed,
and no fluoride drops when they were babies. They rarely ate candy, and when
they did, it was never anything sticky/gummy, like licorice, gummy bears or
fruit snacks. Our dentist told me early-on that those were the worst kinds
of candy a child could eat.

My sister and brother both have good teeth, but I can't say the same for
their kids. They allowed them to eat a lot of candy.

I've never felt right about fluoride being ingested. Topical application
while brushing 2 times a day is plenty, IMHO.

Don't _even_ get me started on the mercury in those fillings...

Just my 2 cents worth. :)
