    when there is adequate dental care

    Well… Isn’t that an issue? Or did you mean brushing with modern toothpaste solves the issue? That’s what I was talking about.

      Brushing with fluoride tooth paste is more effective than fluoridation of our water supply.

      Adequate dental care is even better and the two together produce the best outcomes.

      I think the concept of applying a band aid because the population doesn’t have adequate dental care in the richest nation in the world is at best a cop out.

      Having studied this at UNI, I can say the truth is much more bizarre than you can imagine.
