Had my first dental visit today since moving here, and was told I should have fluoride varnish done twice a year because we don't have fluoride in our water. The dentist suggested this is because of the old 1950's rumor that fluoridation is a communist conspiracy to poison americans. Here is a link showing the areas in Florida with and without fluoride...

although it is only acccurate through 2008. I have just emailed our district gov to ask what we need to do to get our water up to standard. Older people are very susceptible to caries especially when we develop dry mouth.
