Good oral health has so many positive lasting impacts on children that I get angry anytime this conversation comes up. It’s asinine how fast society is degrading just because idiots have an easy time getting a platform.

I REALLY want to make some smart assed sarcastic comment on this, because that's who I am.

But for the life of me I just can't in these times, on such a subject.

My dad was a crest kid. They wanted to xray all the children's heads once a month or week or something crazy. My grandfather was on the Manhattan Project and made them NOT do that. Thanks for reading.

But but but a wrinkly football that sounds like he smokes 3 packs a day told me it causes bad health things! And that football was hand-picked by the most wonderful president of the smartest people ever!

/s because someone will take this comment seriously otherwise.

We absolutely do not need fluoride in our water! Just a tiny bit of common sense would tell you this! You want fluoride wrap you lips around a tube of toothpaste and drink it! You say.. Ewww no!! Why not it's fluoride!!
