I've read it's good for your teeth enamel to prevent erosion, like Lucky 1 said, and I've read that it's harmful to your health, as jenriggs mentioned. Our dentist really pushes an intense fluoride treatment where ones teeth sit in a tray full of fluoride. They say it helps 'sensitive' teeth and teeth that are already showing erosion (from grinding teeth at night, etc.). But then why don't dental insurances cover the cost of fluoride treatments in dental offices? They must not feel it's a necessary service.

We live on well water so don't have fluoride in our water, but as other people have mentioned on this thread, it's prevalent in most popular tooth pastes and so I think that's enough. Still, I'm tired of arguing with the dentist why I'm turning it down.
