My problems started with the John Birch Society...they were so convinced that fluoridation was a Communist plot to befoul our precious bodily fluids, that Detroit never fluoridated the water until after we left, when the old people found that supplemental fluoride strengthened bones and prevented life-threatening fractures...and suddenly, it wasn't a Communist plot anymore...but it was too late for the Boomers.

My children, properly supplied with this necessary mineral, have one or two fillings at most, in their 30's. Same diet, same genes, just better supplementation of what isn't in the food and water....

And dentistry in the 60's was a joke, IMO. Maybe it was just the family dentist, but the work didn't hold up. Nor was it reparable. Except finally by crowns, the ultimate repair.
