More fluoride = more tooth loss

"For example, the states that were awarded A's for having the highest percentage of their population on fluoridated water had the lowest grades for the percentage of people who still had their teeth. This means that fluoridation may not have protected people against tooth loss as intended. Rather, people were more likely to have missing teeth if they lived in the states where more than 50% of the population was fluoridated. Ironically, the states with the lowest percentage of communities with fluoridated water had the highest grades for oral health - in terms of missing teeth (e.g. more people kept their teeth if they lived in communities without fluoridation). This would suggest that fluoridation did not do what it was supposed to do. Here is how the data from the report was examined and how I have displayed the data to illustrate this point."
