And there's the problem.
If people had just stuck with drinking the water then the fluoride was doing a great job. But they fell for the marketing hype of the toothpaste manufacturers, the rinse manufacturers and their dentists and assumed that if a small amount of something was good then a large amount was excellent.
I suspect that most people in TV are relatively well-off and can afford all of these "extras", but for many people the fluoride in the drinking water is the only fluoride that they are getting.
