This discussion doesn't hold much interest to me so forgive my 'drive by' comment.

I had fluoride as a child. I am sure that I have lots of fissures and regularly eat sweet foods. I have had no problems with my teeth (apart from tartar build up). Dentists always ask me if I had fluoride as a child. When I say yes they give an approving nod. At my most recent attendance a comment was made along the lines that a hole couldn't be put in my teeth if I wanted one.

Perhaps the responses of dentists to my situation has propagandised me but I attribute my good fortune to the fluoride tablets I was given with my breakfast as a child.

thanks for your comment mjpb i have a special pill that will keep away elephants[it has the side affect of making you docile,..but will keep away elephants]

mate im glad you got no cavities but mate its because you got no ''the cavity-causing S. Mutans bacteria,..''go kiss someone with rotton teeth[or worse marry someone with bad teeth,..soon you get tha bad selmenala mutans and in a few more years you get your first hole

you coyuld just as easilly claim the tooth brushing kept away your cavities[but didnt[went straight for the fleurides[unspoken is that fluerides are metal fluerides[with no other use than to put in water[or tablets ]..to make us easy to handle

[the first thing they did in the past was put flueride into the well to make the invaded population docile]...govt love docile voters that dont go into the streets...we got bad dental service..[that spreads the bad bacteria]..because its good for buisness

when i complain about the caries on my gum line to the dentists ripping them out one at a time..i get told its from tooth brushing..[i only recently began brushing..[to get the food out of the holes]

the simple thing is no bad acid making bacteria no holes...i had great teeth till well into my thirties,but pickled up the bacteria when my wife made me go to a dentist[who said my teeth were just fine[needing..'only a clean'....

that clean that removed my enamal from my teeth at the gum line also gave me the bacteria..it took some time to get cavities but i been getting the benifits ever since...go get the bacteria..see how good fleuride is then
