My parents both have fillings in almost every tooth, my sister and I have none. Neither of us did anything particularly special, my parents were quite strict about sugar (for the UK in the 80s/90s) and we brushed our teeth twice a day. I never flossed regularly, though I have started doing it more in the last few years.
Kids ate like crap in the 60s and 70s. Everyone in my family from that generation has dental issues. Both sides of the family. Just from drinking soda like its water.
Yes this is exactly my point. Simple lifestyle changes are really all that's necessary. I still see kids walking around drinking soda, I have to fight tooth and nail to prevent my little one from being given sweets and fizzy drinks on an almost daily basis (we moved to Czech republic, I don't want to be rude about my adopted home but the truth is they are quite behind on children's health and nutrition)
First, fluorosis isn't demineralization of teeth, it's hypermineralization, way on the other side of the spectrum.
Second, you'll get water poisoning before you'd get fluorosis from tap water. I challenge you to find anyone who has gotten fluorosis from tap water alone
So long as the tap water is correctly treated, it's not going to give you fluorosis, but in the event the plant breaks and no one is testing the water, it can happen
Sure, their can be industrial accidents. But just because some company made a radiation therapy device that accidentally fataly irradiated people, doesn't mean that radiation isn't an effective treatment for cancer
