[QUOTE="Finsky, post: 1156063, member: 269388"] I grew up in Finland and in 60's and 70's they didn't add fluoride into drinking water (well, I think they didn't...)but it was standard advise to give kids fluoride tablets to chew...(I assume it is same 'fluoride stuff' what ever form it comes from). Not only that, we used to have once a year check ups and dental 'education' from dentist. Every time you went to dentist..the appointment ended up with 'rinsing your mouth' and spitting into little bowl next to the dentist chair (don't get those these days anymore...)...'the rinse' included liquid fluoride as well! I can remember that water tasting 'funny' and we were told not to swallow! Back in those early years in school...we had sink in back of the class room...on the wall there would be rack where each student had their own named tooth brushes and you were required to brush your teeth after lunch break....AND...every so often dentist would come and supply more of that 'funny tasting water' to rinse your mouths with....AND we had regularly 'pink teeth test'...:D..that was fun day..we had chew one of those 'dye tablets' that would reveal any 'stuck on dirt' that was missed during brushing. I doubt there is such a effort put anymore for children teeth in schools now...but they did then!....maybe too much..:confused: [/QUOTE]
