I was telling my son's dentist that if fluoride works at all to harden teeth, it only works topically, ie. in toothpaste on the tooth surface.
Systemic fluoride in drinking water only does harm.
She couldn't really argue with that.
I think fluoride may damage teeth in any case.
When I was a kid the dentist told my parents that the fluorosis on my teeth was "cavities" and had them filled. I only learned later in life what fluorosis looks like.
all healthcare is a racket
Most things "modern" are a total money grubbing grifts. College, degrees, "certificates", licenses for trade, "masters" of trades, etc....
Severe fluorosis can pit teeth and totally jack up the enamel to the point that some teeth have to be restored. In addition, it can make them very brittle. One of the things I am concerned with patients that have fluorosis is the state of their bone health. If it makes teeth brittle, it can make bones brittle.
