Here is an introduction to and a status report on fluoride in water and toothpaste and more. Watch these videos and you will get an idea on why the Bartlett family buys non-fluoridated toothpaste and drinks non-fluoridated water.
What do you think about this? What other research can you use to support your understanding of the use of Fluoride in the United States? This discussion got started in chemistry class, but does affect us all!

Fluoridated water has fluoride at a level that is effective for preventing cavities; this can occur naturally or by adding fluoride. Fluoridated water operates on tooth surfaces: in the mouth it creates low levels of fluoride in saliva, which reduces the rate at which tooth enamel demineralizes and increases the rate at which it remineralizes in the early stages of cavities. Typically a fluoridated compound is added to drinking water, a process that in the U.S. costs an average of about $0.95 per person-year.
De-fluoridation is needed when the naturally occurring fluoride level exceeds recommended limits.[5] A 1994 World Health Organization expert committee suggested a level of fluoride from 0.5 to 1.0 mg/L. Bottled water typically has unknown fluoride levels, and some domestic water filters remove some or all fluoride.
The proven cases that fluoride is decreasing the IQ of people was avery small case, and in my opinion isn’t proof. What I feel like it is is, reason to further develop the theory.
