Fluoride only helps prevent cavities. With good dental hygiene and a healthy diet, better effects are found. Unfortunately there is a sad condition in Appalachia which has been dubbed “Mountain Dew Mouth.” Babies and kids get sodas and Kool aid instead of milk or water.
I also knew a woman in Texas whose home town in Tennessee made a mistake in the amount of fluoride they were putting into the water, all of the people in town got brown teeth… I mean BROWN. It was not reversible and NOT pretty.

I assume it's about the fact that catchment water doesn't have flouride which is added for kid's dental health.
