    Well, I’ll say that most highly thought of European counties don’t do it so, yeah, use fluoride toothpaste and you’re gucci.

    Most European countries including Italy, France, Finland, Germany, Sweden, Netherlands, Scotland, Austria, Poland, Hungary and Switzerland do not fluoridate water.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_fluoridation_by_country

    Oh, despite us Finns not fluoridating water, there’s quite a lot of it in well water.

    Finland

    Kuopio is the only community in Finland with at least 70,000 people that has ever had water fluoridated.[56] Kuopio stopped fluoridation in 1992.[86] In regions with rapakivi bedrock (small, but densely populated regions), 22% of well waters and 55% of drilled well waters exceed the legal limit of 1.5 mg/L; generally, surface and well waters have 0.5-2.0 mg/L fluoride in affected regions.

          So it makes your point unclear. Are you saying that they have good teeth even with no flouride in the water and not using flouride toothpaste?

            Yes.

            There is no need to add fluoride to drinking water, even when fluoride is good for cavities.

            It’s not my problem if you want to have dirty teeth.

              Oh, I see. I think I get the misunderstanding.

              Poor people in this country have no money and no support. There’s no free toothpaste fairy floating around giving out supplies. In some parts of the country there isn’t even sewer lines.

              But I understand, it’s easy to mistake us for a first world country because you only see our media. We’re not. We’re a third world country with first world coasts.
