      There are some areas that have fluoride in the water supply either from intentional addition to the water, or through groundwater contamination or natural mineral deposits. I believe only about 10% of the population has fluoride in their water, though.

        Imagine having a government so dysfunctional that :amerikkka: can sometimes show you up.

          It's like how the UK has universal healthcare because it got passed a while ago, but there is no way in hell they would be able to create the NHS with how dysfunctional they are now.

        Jesus Christ :ukkk: get your fucking act together, :amerikkka: has 73%. It’s like the cheapest most basic thing you can do to dramatically decrease the rate of cavities

          This is happening nationwide soon. Also worth noting that dental health is still better in the UK despite not having it, rate of tooth decay is lower. This is probably because of diet and will be improved by the addition of fluoride by a lot.

          Not sure why they've lagged at it so much to be honest. It's literally cheaper to add the fluoride to the water than it is to provide nhs dental to people that otherwise wouldn't have needed it.
