How long did you take fluoride pills, as an adult or only as a child?

This is definitely a thing. I mentioned no cavities, but I have had some "slight decalcification we might want to address before it gets worse" that then got better on their own.

Thanks.

I hadn't thought of a fluoridated mouthwash but that looks obvious in hindsight.

Thanks. The fluoride in the water itself is not directly relevant because I just don't have it, but good evidence to raise the topic with my dentist as an adult. I definitely use fluoridated toothpaste.

Yeah, I think that's why my dentist gave me fluoride treatments as a child. Have you gotten any as an adult?

Thanks! I'll talk to my dentist about it at my next appointment.

Yeah, it seems like complaining about government provided WiFi.

"What if I don't WANT my kids on the internet dangit!?"

Sorry, you misunderstand. I don't rely on a municipal well, and adding fluoride to private wells isn't a thing AFAIK.

That's why as a child I had fluoride treatments. It would have been easier to just get it in the water, but tradeoffs. My kids get them too.

I was wondering about the fluoride treatments being child only or whether there were adult benefits.

Stay at home dad

Fuck yes

Ok so seems clear to me there's no real harm, but is there alleged benefit for adults? I've never had to rely on a municipal well so as a kid I had fluoride treatments and used fluoridated paste, but always thought it was just for kids. Is there benefit for me as a 40yo (with no cavities if it matters)?

This looks like fighting Turks. Fucking Turks would be different

...I think?

Makes me think of the DHMO awareness campaign
