Other countries don’t have fluoride in the water, it isn’t the end of the world. And don’t people usually drink bottled water in Florida anyways?
HOWEVER other places that don’t have flouride in the water do normally have affordable and accessible dental heathcare. And most people brush their teeth with toothpaste with flouride in it. You don’t really need all that much of it, as long as you get some.
With the anti-fluoride mindset, people are not going to get it through other means most likely. And this especially hurts poor people and the homeless, since they are going to have the hardest time getting enough fluoride and won’t have access to dental healthcare. So small issues that would normally be prevented, are going to cause huge issues.
It’s just another way the Republicans can punish the poor.
What are you trying to say? Those are all shit hole countries so it doesn’t matter what they do?
I live in Germany, no fluoride is added to our water and it isn’t there naturally. There is salt with added fluoride available and almost all toothpastes have it. There’s also fluoride tablets people can take. And the dentist will apply fluoride treatments where needed or prescribe high fluoride toothpaste.
Dental care and hygiene is excellent here.
The same thing applies for many countries in Europe.
