On the plus side, I smell a great opportunity for a longitudinal population study. 🤔

    Yeah, I was actually wondering if it’s still necessary if every toothpaste already has fluoride in it. It’s probably still better to keep adding it just in case, since there’s no real downside to doing it. But I guess we’ll see in a generation what the long term effect is.

      It’s absolutely still necessary. There’s a hundred reasons someone isn’t brushing their teeth and it’s a crucial support for them.

      There’s flouride free toothpaste and the kind of people who don’t want flouride in their drinking water also don’t buy toothpaste with flouride in it.
