My worst string of dental caries happened when I lived in an area without fluoridated water! I wish I had known it wasn't fluoridated so I could have been doing fluoride rinses back then. Expensive and painful personal lesson!

Dear, Dr. Steir & Nina Munoz. Well done. At first I had thought "Who drinks from the tap these days" . But of course the answer is all of those folks who can't afford alternatives. The ones most likely to not get proper dental care.

Thanks for the thoroughness of your article.

When will the madness end?

Please keep up the good work.

With much respect, HELENLOUISE J.

Dear Dr. Steier, please excuse my error on spelling of your name. My maiden name is similar. Stolmeier. Not many folks have eier in their last name.

Google experts strike again! I am grateful for knowledgeable people like you who help to explain results in an understandable and meaningful way instead of fear-mongering. Thank you!

My city located in a red county in Oregon recently voted to remove fluoride from its municipal water supply. Numerous public comments to city councilors from citizens who’ve done their own research using biased sources based on the faulty results you’ve highlighted here were used to put the question on the ‘24 ballot. Politics played a big part in higher Covid-19 mortality rates in red states and the fluoridation of municipal water seems to be following a similar trend to the detriment of public health as well.
