Just talk to the dentists. They are wildly in favor of fluoride in the water because of how amazingly it reduces cavities.

Unfortunately, most people are far too young to get this. I'm 68, and in my childhood it was simpy assumed that you'd get lots of cavities in youth. And maybe need dentures by age 40.

But fluoride cut the incidence of cavities dramatically. But idiots who don't understand science oppose the fluoride.
