carpet bombing the public water system with flouride is terrible for people ( as they cannot monitor their intake or usage of flouride...realistically) and the ecosystem.
i think administering flouride at a prescribed amount to prevent tooth decay is very reasonable and probably improves health without significant side effects. we completely have the means to reap any prescribed benefit of flouride without dumping it into our public water systems.
Ah …… yes. Why would you not give informed consent to the patients as every other medical intervention calls for? If people wanted fluoride treatments, they could buy them or get fluoride toothpaste for personal use. Forcing them on every customer in a water system is pure tyranny.

exactly, and fucking with water is perhaps as base level monstrous as it gets, imo.

Toothpaste has fluoride. That is enough fluoride?

i live in Oregon where we dont have flouride added to water. toothpaste works for adults, for kids...doctors and dentists provide flouride paste onto kids teeth usually at routine checkups and also my doc prescribed a little bottle of flouride you can give to your kid daily to make sure they dont fall prey to early tooth decay ( at least they did for me and all my friends kids). there is lots of ways to handle it in my experience when its not in the water.
