A lot of people on here seem to think cavities are only caused by sugar. It’s a bacteria, it can be transferred from parent to kid if you’re sharing things that enter your mouth. You could have a perfectly healthy sugar free diet and brush and floss and get fluoride treatments but overall if you do not get rid of that bacteria then you’ll just get more cavities.

Hawaii, the only state that has an active ban on fluoridation, also has the worst oral health in the nation. Local dentists can immediately tell whether a child was raised in the islands or on the mainland just by looking at the quality of their enamel. While it is certainly possible to have no cavities with non-fluoridated water, there is no way to build up a high quality of enamel hardness other than with fluoride.

Sounds like you weren’t a competent brusher. Fact of the matter is you get more than your recommended daily intake of fluoride from toothpaste and mouthwash. Adding more via water doesn’t magically product “more protection”. There are far safer and more effective products we could use like NHA that actually reverse and prevent demineralization, rather than just preventing to a small degree as fluoride does. If you’re so concerned with fluoride being removed from your water, add it back at home
