    Everyone on this argument seems to be posting a rather religious position and rationalizing backwards.

    Europe has vastly better dental health in every possible way, without flouridation.

    It’s not working, cut the shit.

      I would suggest trying to start a grass roots movement to lower dental healthcare costs in the US to be closer to EU levels, as well as push for those subsidized fluoride rinses you mentioned. It’ll be a long road, but it has to start somewhere, and you seem passionate enough about the subject to lead the charge.

        I mean, my solution is just to leave the US, which worked for me.

        It’s not just lowering dental costs btw, but you’re right, taking money out of dentistry would probably give the most improvement to medical outcomes.
