Studies show that ingesting fluoride does not reduce tooth decay. The most toothless Americans live in the most highly fluoridated states. The study upon which this report is doubtful because Connecticut is a fluoridation mandated state with low tooth loss rates but that's because they are one of the few states where Medicaid adults get dental benefits.
In 1999, 24% of Americans over 65 were reported edentulous by the
Centers for Disease Control, ranging from a low of 14% in Hawaii [9%
fluoridated] to, the highest, 48% in West Virginia (87% fluoridated).
"The states that were awarded A's (in the Nation's Oral health Report
Card for having the highest percentage of their population on
fluoridated water had the lowest grades for the percentage of people
who still had their teeth," according to an analysis by Hardy Limeback
PhD, DDS, Head, Preventive Dentistry, University of Toronto
Limeback found that "people were more likely to have missing teeth if
they lived in the states where more than 50% of the population was
fluoridated. Ironically, the states with the lowest percentage of
communities with fluoridated water had the highest grades for oral
health - in terms of missing teeth (e.g. more people kept their teeth
if they lived in communities without fluoridation)."
Actually, dental crises appear in many fluoridated cities. (See: Cavity
Crises In Fluoridated Cities

Fluoride is linked to a whole host of adverse effects. See www.FluorideAction.Net/health and
the Centers for Disease Control reports that up to 48% of US school children are fluoride-overdosed and sport dental fluorosis (discolored teeth) as a result. Yet, children in the US have died from the consequences of untreated tooth decay

Yeah, I also agree that fluoride help the teeth many ways.In the toothpaste there is also have fluoride content.So it protects our teeth from germ specially bacteria.As it provides minerals for the teeth it helps teeth to become strong by this way.
