    Well, I’ll say that most highly thought of European counties don’t do it so, yeah, use fluoride toothpaste and you’re gucci.

    Most European countries including Italy, France, Finland, Germany, Sweden, Netherlands, Scotland, Austria, Poland, Hungary and Switzerland do not fluoridate water.

    Oh, despite us Finns not fluoridating water, there’s quite a lot of it in well water.

    Finland

    Kuopio is the only community in Finland with at least 70,000 people that has ever had water fluoridated.[56] Kuopio stopped fluoridation in 1992.[86] In regions with rapakivi bedrock (small, but densely populated regions), 22% of well waters and 55% of drilled well waters exceed the legal limit of 1.5 mg/L; generally, surface and well waters have 0.5-2.0 mg/L fluoride in affected regions.
