I really don't think you are being objective. You are very quick to believe studies that show Fluoride is a magic cure for teeth, but you do not believe

Harvard studies (and others) that show it to lower IQs, cause autism and cancer
and calcify our pineal gland (which is the scariest effect IMO).
Fluoride is a dangerous toxin and I cannot believe how most people don't care that our population is being mass-medicated with it-effects working?
I have a reverse osmosis filter system (which is really the only way to remove fluoride from the water).
Even if you boil water, the fluoride becomes more concentrated.
And this is not natural fluoride they are pumping into the public drinking water, it is industrial waste from processing aluminum.
There is no proof of any of this, and the pineal gland calcifies regardless of the presents of fluoride or not.
The whole "science is settled" claim. Why not let people decide for themselves, just in case the "experts" are wrong?
I agree, but I would be more worried about the other crap they put in our water, such as corrosion inhibitors. Read your annual water report to see the additives.
Yeah all the people who have switched to safe bottled water have teeth falling out of their mouths. Try practicing good hygiene and proper diet.
Exactly-such propaganda. I grew up with fluorided tap water but that didn't stop my soft teeth from having 6+ cavities as a child. I am 27 and have had reverse osmosis water for years and haven't had a cavity since I was an adolescent.
And for people quoting dental history studies and natural fluoride-it is not the same thing, we pump industrial waste fluoride in our water.
Yes, our drinking water is full of chemicals but if it didn't we would have other much more serious problems. I rather drink the water out of my faucet than the water from most other countries. Fluoride has never been linked to any negative health risks. Thanks to fluoride we suffer from less tooth decay than probably any other country. I have never been a fan of bottled water, to me most tap water is fine, besides most bottled water comes from the same water source, it is just filtered.
So, are you going to purchase Reverse Osmosis filtration systems for those localities in the United States where there is NATURAL fluoride in the water?
How about those localities that have naturally occurring ARSENIC in the water?
How about those localities where there is naturally occurring alkali in the water? (I hear that heart burn is not a common problem in those localities!)
"Pure" drinking water is a myth. It just does not exist in Nature. Where it does exist, it is artificially created, and even then it is not truly "pure". Even rain water is not truly "pure".

Please for those who say we should not, please make the case why those who do not want their water contaminated should have to drink water that many other nations have called unsafe.
For those who see this as what it is, public poisoning, who do we stop it?
If not for the poll skew from the welcome to Costco answer ... sadly, more than 50 % believe fluoridation should continue.
This shows that the program is working nicely, and exactly as planned.
