Susan we are on well water so there's no fluoride. When I take our son to the dentist they always ask if I want to give him fluoride in tablets to protect his teeth. He's almost 10-years-old, never had a cavity but they still push the fluoride. I finally told them to make a note in his chart that I do not want any fluoride treatments or tablets.

Great info, as usual. You excel at helping keep us safe and healthy.

Good for you Robin...I won't let our dentist give my girls the fluoride treatments either.

I am hoping there is more awareness with professionals these days or at least less resistance to listening to patients who choose not do their own homework rather than simply doing something because it is being recommended.
