The Big Oil owners get to make ever-more money off high oil prices, while you and your kids get tooth decay. Nice little snapshot of how Republican policy works.

Just because you drank the water when it was fluoridated doesn’t mean you should swallow the toothpaste if the water stops being so. Once the fluoride was in your mouth it had already done its job, being absorbed directly into your tooth enamel. You were drinking the water because it was water, not because it was necessary to do so for the fluoride to work.
That’s why when you’re a kid getting a fluoride treatment at the dentist, they do it by putting gel in a mouthguard-like thing, rather than giving you a pill to swallow.
I am talking about the concept of replacing the fluoride that you’d normally drink in your drinking water if they stop adding fluoride to it. Do you actually think the fluoride in drinking water only works when you swish with it?
Fluoride helps prevent tooth decay when you ingest it, as well, especially for children. Here is a link.
