@copyme@mastodon.online Of course you dont have bad teeth in europe, most of europe drink tea or coffee.. The fluridation of the water supply in the USA is not for the general public, they likely drink teas and coffees so they are covered. We flurodate our water supply largely out of concern for the poor who have very limited diets and poor dental hygene.

But yea if you arent drinking coffee and tea then you probably arent getting enough from toothpaste alone since you do not swallow your toothpaste, so it doesnt provide the benefits to your bones or even very much for your teeth.
