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

    You don’t drink it straight, you make coffee with it. That extra grabby power passing through coffee grounds makes a noticeable difference.

      Are you telling me there’s a way for me to become more of a coffee snob?!

      Edit: Google says it’s not this way and makes for weak coffee.

        Unpublished Data from when I worked summers in a lab for grad students disagrees with Google.

        We tested distilled, RO, DI versus tap water. We were going to see about the double-distilled water but the supervising professor caught us. Apparently “That shit was too expensive for your shenanigans!”
