Places without fluoride in tap water have higher rates of cavities and decay, just saying.
Probably is true, doesn't mean people should be forced to drink it. Freedom comes with responsibility. No different than forced Covid or flu shots. You are free to move to a forced Floride state.
They put fluoride in back when lots of people couldn’t afford routine dental care. But we are in 2025 now so not the same situation.
One thing you can count on, If you are forced to use it, someone is getting very rich on that loss of personal freedom.
Since 2000 I have lived in homes where the water supply has been on a well both in Florida and North Carolina. I have not had a cavity in that time frame and two of my kids didnt have abnormally high amount of cavities and one of my kids has been cavity free his entire life. I am not so certain flouride makes a difference. The single biggest cause of tooth decay is consuming sugars ( acids) in liquid form. My son Kyle, the 26 year old without a cavity, is also multihandicap. He doesn't get any sodas, milk, fruit juices ,etc. Its the liquid sugars that saturate your enamel and eat away at it.
It 100% makes a difference based on actual the actual scientific evidence. I’m fine with it not being in drinking water, but 100% areas with high rates of fluoride in drinking water have less cavities.
Our kids went to the dentist twice a year and they applied fluoride directly on the teeth. Plus we use fluoride tooth paste. Its odd in a sense to fluoridate water. Kids in particular aren't supposed to swallow their toothpaste foam because of toxicity issues. I get it. There is a prophylaxis value to it in reducing bacteria growth and it bonds with enamel to prevent acid breakdown of said enamel. It is toxic as well.
Here is a nice overview of the pros and cons to flouridated water.

Fluoride is one of the most abundant elements found in nature. Water is the major dietary source of fluoride. The only known association with low fluoride intake is the risk of dental caries. Initially, fluoride was considered beneficial when given ...

The point is it should not be mandatory. Enough of big brother being mamma daddy and nurse maid.
Yes realize that 50% of the globe has fluoride levels high enough to achieve dental health benefits occurring naturally in the water. Efforts to fluoridate water in other locations where natural fluoride isn’t as prevalent were to achieve similar benefit. It isn’t like we are introducing fluoride as some wacky idea. It was introduced because areas where it was already in drinking water were shown to be reaping the benefits. So I guess if you don’t want it to be mandatory you should drink bottled water.
So if you want it move to where it is natural, Don't make me pay for or use it. That is what freedom is all about.
Some places they remove it from water to get the recommended level of this natural mineral. Are you ok with paying for the removal?
I don't care either way. You are not adding something you are purifying it. I am not against treating water to make it safe, I am against adding junk just because you think it is a good idea. Now go get your 8th covid vaccine and leave the rest of us alone.
