Do adults benefit from flouride? in c/[email protected]

Wow, that does sound political!

Again, I'm not at all talking about additives to municipal water. That's clearly good. Just since my houses don't have it I'm curious if there's a missed opportunity for better.

Seems like "yes but small" given already using fluoridated toothpaste

Makes sense. Even if its a thing I'd probably not keep up on it. My house filters have gotten embarrassingly full in my time

Thanks. The fluoride in the water itself is not directly relevant because I just don't have it, but good evidence to raise the topic with my dentist as an adult. I definitely use fluoridated toothpaste.

Do adults benefit from flouride? (lemmy.world)
 

First let me be clear: I'm not a crazy conspiracy person (...on this) I just don't rely on a municipal well. As far as I know adding fluoride to the private well at my houses is not a thing, good or bad. I did drink municipal water for two years when I lived on campus in college.

That said, is fluoride a benefit to adults or just children?

When I was a kid I got fluoride treatments at the dentist, but then aged out. I've never had a cavity in forty years, but I'd like to keep it that way. Should I still be doing it?

Also no, I'm not using the internet as a substitute for a dentist, just my next dental appointment is in four months. TIA

Sorry, you misunderstand. I don't rely on a municipal well, and adding fluoride to private wells isn't a thing AFAIK.

That's why as a child I had fluoride treatments. It would have been easier to just get it in the water, but tradeoffs. My kids get them too.

I was wondering about the fluoride treatments being child only or whether there were adult benefits.

Ok so seems clear to me there's no real harm, but is there alleged benefit for adults? I've never had to rely on a municipal well so as a kid I had fluoride treatments and used fluoridated paste, but always thought it was just for kids. Is there benefit for me as a 40yo (with no cavities if it matters)?

I've thought about this. Have the "Agriculture was a trap!" people ever designed like a hunter gatherer Eden? Like not historical reenactment. We have tech be a human and use it. But like buy a few hundred acres and plant a shitload of fruit trees with modern fertilizer, use GPS to navigate it, live in a badass modern tent...

Not for me, but those people seriously seem to have the option right there

Someone was asking about whether people would rather see a person or a bear in the woods. Bears are probably harmless but if not they're deadly. People are probably annoying, but that's the worst reasonable case. It was low odds high cost v high odds low cost.

Then some people used it to do a sexism.

Then some other people went "nuh uh" and did a counter sexism.

Current status is opposing directions of sexism in an arms race. Currently it seems the boys are worse than the girls, but girls have patience so we'll see.
