At a time where rural dental care is poor to nonexistent and dental care is usually not covered under health insurance we shouldn't be promoting MORE tooth decay.

it gets worst , since people also buy into the flouride free toothpaste, usually with or without nHA, and what a surprise the people in the reviews for those toothpaste ends up having bad teeth and still cavities. the people reporting thier "teeth or whiter or fresher attributes to it being nHA or flouride free, but dont account for the amount abrasives and whitening agents in these toothpaste, and since its not really standardized, since theres many different toothpastes flouride free made by different companies, people have reported allergies to it(ulcers or chelitis)

I edited my comment and straight up said I had it wrong. You're getting upset with the wrong person. Use topical flouride, it works so well that it obscures the benefits of flouride in water. If you're not gonna use flouridated toothpaste or mouth rinses, then flouridated water is better than nothing
