Taking flouride out of the water will increase incidence of caries in children, thats proven with research all over the world. A famous study was done in Saskatchewan, Saskatoon (flouridated) vs. Regina(non fluoridated) and showed statistically relevant data that supported that. Don't ask me to pull up the research, I learned about it years ago in Dental school and I have no care to prove it.
That being said, there are very relevant points made that fluoride can be systemically harmful to the body. For this reason, I personally agree with Flouride being pulled out of the water supply. The increase in caries rates was more predominant amongst lower socio-economic groups that had low Dental IQ's, and poor oral hygiene.
The truth of the matter is, brush your teeth twice daily, floss everyday, and just generally take care of your oral health, and this is simply a non issue.
As for the dentist population. I can tell you there is a large divide amongst the dentists. Despite the fact that some may acuse dentists of wanting flouride out of our water system for our personal economic benefit. No dentist I know wants to see children in our practice with more cavities. Children can be more difficult to work on, so we work hard with our families to educate them, and work on a strong preventive program. Thats much more effective and safe than any fluoridation system.
