Normally you'd get fluoride from the tap water in most communities.
If you wonder why so many people have bad teeth, bad breath, and why dentists are on every corner in every strip mall in the Villages - that's why. Old age doesn't cause tooth decay. But fluoride can help prevent it.

It's been decades since I had a decayed tooth and most of my life I drank well water. Proper brushing, flossing, and 6-month checkups are the key to healthy teeth. Dentists today are not on every corner to fix a cavity, they can't make a living with fixing decay and Xrays. They are there in a lot of cases to talk patients into expensive services they really don't need especially if they have good insurance.
